Not Another Elephant that is suffering thanks to profits. Put the donated funds into facilitating her to an appropriate elephant sanctuary where room to move is a given , a place she can receive proper veterinary care. Does not the funding tax payers give through donations and such cover the on going costs of maintaining a Zoo ? If not relinquish them instead of killing off your cash cow by neglect and replacing them like an old pair of shoes once the cost becomes greater than the profit margin. Without caregivers due diligence these animals live in inadequate shelter, many with no stimulation, others living life in isolation never to live with one of their own kind. Could you imagine a life without ever having a friend , spouse or children…. countless have , and studies have proven it’s horrendous. Proven to be Physiologically traumatizing for any sentient species to undergo an unnatural exsistance enforced by another teaches us that PTSD isn’t just a human condition.
Audits have been apparently ineffective as history shows here in this particular case. So in essence without the need for urgency it’s standard practice to wait for ” something you can’t ignore ? Indiscretions abound as irresponsible veterinarians and staff ignore the owners blatant negligence / animal endangerment. My question is Who takes responsibility for this apparently cited gross neglect. Why were documented violations allowed to continue . What about follow up ,as a licensed active business all documentation should be transparent to the public and an open mic public review on practices and procedures which obviously is in desperate need to amend ensuring that responsibilities are put into action.
