Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”

From the zoo's website:
Good travel Mala More than 46 years he lived the good-natured elephant lady Mala in Hagenbeck Zoo. But in early July we said goodbye. The gray giant moved to the Belgian zoo "Pairi Daiza". There they can live out her role as matriarch, what was it in the Hagenbeck Zoo granted by other higher-ranking female elephants never. Years ago, zoo keepers tried to integrate into the Mala herd of elephants, unfortunately in vain. The experiments always ended with unpleasant confrontations because Malas dominant character. The unusual solution: Mala and the bull, the bull pen Hussein live together. The attempt was successful and so the two stood side by side for many years in the Hagenbeck Zoo. http://www.hagenbeck.de/nc/tierpark/aktuel...reise-mala.html [Original in German - Google will translate.] -------------------- "They need to move and have stimulation.

Although no date has yet been announced, I understand that lone Asian bull THISIAM (15) is to be moved from Katowice Zoo Poland to Hagenbecks.
The elephant.se database records that Thisiam was born in a Paris Zoo, and his impending move to Hamburg will be his fourth. A brief online search for info about Thisiam revealed that ... Thisiam frequently has tested positive for tuberculosis, so he was still kept isolated ... In Chorzów prepared Thisiam the staff some problems. So he attacked fences, tore out fences and showered people who came too close to him without hesitation with water. He slipped dissatisfied by the facility, for which his enduring loneliness and in particular the lack of cows is being blamed ...

All to do with the "breeding constellation".
