The disingenuous actions of the Reid Park Zoo—and the zoo industry as a whole—deserve significant scrutiny
But in the end, it comes down to Connie and Shaba, two elephants that have spent decades side by side at the Reid Park Zoo. Contradicting their earlier emphasis on the bonding of this pair, zoo officials are now saying that separation is best for both—apparently in blind pursuit of the zoo's breeding program. In the process, however, those officials have violated the trust of this community. Even worse, they've shredded their commitment to Connie and Shaba. http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/editori...-jYSYM.facebook -------------------- “We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. 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.”
