Update: Toronto Zoo Board now supporting move to sanctuary
The Toronto Zoo board has directed its staff to prepare to transfer the city’s three aging elephants to PAWS sanctuary in California by April 30, 2012. This endorses the Toronto City Council’s decision to send the elephants.

Unfortunately, the elephant keepers are still resisting what’s best for the elephants by not allowing Ed Stewart from PAWS to see the elephants. Hopefully the elephant keepers will sign on to this compassionate move so that PAWS can work with the elephants on training for their transport.
