So let me see if I got this straight..the judge rules the elephants are not happy or healthy yet he ordered against closing the exhibit? That makes no sense. I agree with Chris DeRose close that exhibit and move to elephnats to a sanctuary where they can roam and be an elephants.
Thanks Cal

If the best they have to offer is that they don't use bull hooks or electric shocks to train these animals, then the Los Angeles Zoo has a long way to go before they' can say they're providing Billy, Tina and Jewel with the quality of life they deserve. I'm not familiar with terms used to describe animal activities, but did anyone else find the last sentence of the article to be, well, --surprising-- considering the otherwise serious nature of the article?

if he truly felt that way, the judge should have closed the exhibit and relocated the elephants to a sanctuary

In almost every zoo animals aren't so happy .....

Noted. Thanks for the story, Cher. Hopefully, the zoo will go forward from here and make life better for the elephants.

Noted! Then that judge better get his arse off the bench and do something ASAP to get these Elephants medical treatment and a change of environment!

Relocate all these elephants to a sanctuary.Close this dump

I'm going to try to restrain myself here. I happen to work at this zoo and have done so for 20 years. Pay attention....

LOS ANGELES ZOO HASN'T USED BULLHOOKS OR ELECTRIC SHOCK ON ELEPHANTS IN AT LEAST 15 YEARS, WHEN ALL RESPONSIBLE ZOOS QUIT DOING IT.

In fact....we WON this lawsuit....and just because you read about the details in a newspaper doesn't mean any of it is true.

More KNEE-JERKING by some of you.

At least conditions will improve for the elephants now, if the zoo does what the judge said.

I'm with Nicole on this, noted.

I wish they'd move the girls to the elephant sanctuary in Tennessee! I'm SURE they'd take the girls! The conditions aren't going to 'improve' by just adding dirt and the zoo employees will have to agree to sign a contract that states that they are NOT to use bullhooks or electricute the elephants ever again because if they do, they will be fired from working at the L.A. Zoo. Maybe this is the way they SHOULD take care of this dire situation. Wish I could get a message to the elephant sanctuary. TY Cal.

Let's send these lovely animals back to where they belong.

The article is too mixed. I need a better article or report.

Dollars to doughnuts...Any elephant in any zoo is not happy!!! Zoos are like prisons for animals, except people pay to see the inmates. People never question which horrid method was used to capture the animal, or how the animal ended up at that particular zoo (prison), for thier viewing pleasure! Perhaps they should get it into thier minds that the best place to look is The National Geogrphic Channel!!!
