Elephants live longer in wild than zoos

"Researchers compared the life spans of elephants in European zoos with those living in Amboseli National Park in Kenya and others working on a timber enterprise in Myanmar. Animals in the wild or in natural working conditions had life spans twice that or more of their relatives in zoos."

Duh. Besides man, what animal would be dumb enough to attack another animal five times its size? I think elephants feel pretty safe out there on the plains of Africa. It's time to get rid of elephant displays at the zoo.

In fact, it's time to get rid of zoos, period.
