💨 Abstract

The Los Angeles Zoo transferred its last two elephants, Billy and Tina, to the Tulsa Zoo under cover of darkness, despite a pending lawsuit seeking to move them to a sanctuary. Animal advocates argue that the Tulsa Zoo's enclosure is too small, but the LA Zoo states that socialization with other elephants is crucial for their well-being. The Nonhuman Rights Project, which filed the lawsuit, plans to explore legal options in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, zoos nationwide face criticism for inadequate elephant enclosures.
