        We love you how you champion animals & we respect your opinion. We'd like to invite you to meet Billy & the 3 female elephants in their home. We'd like to show you their state-of-the-art habitat & the passionate, expert animal care & vet staff who dedicate their lives to Billy.

        Don't believe the hysteria, Ellen. Keepers at LAZ are incredibly talented/ loving. Misguided people are going to send him to a sad end.

        They also make it sound like the sanctuary location they suggest does not have a fence around it. It does and it will look like bars too. Elephants would destroy it if otherwise.

        They also make it sound like he'll have this free life, romping around. He'll be separated from all other elephants, exposed to elephant TB, and have zero interaction with other elephants and minimal interaction with keepers due to low resources.

        Oh Ellen...you are so misinformed. Billy is in an amazing home with experts who have dedicated their lives to ensuring his health and well-being. Removing him would be extremely detrimental to his health, both mental and physical. #LAZooiskind #Billyishome

        Why did it take so long to release him? For me, a way to make a statement - never visit zoos but donate to conservation programs instead.

        Zoos and Aquariums are literally the largest conservation organizations on the planet...doing the front line work to ensure survival of endangered species. Look up the California Condor Recovery Program or the Peninsular Pronghorn before you bash zoos.

        That may be, but some have been responsible for great errors too...thinking about killer whales on that one. I just choose to give my $'s a different way

        What happy and free sanctuary is everyone talking about? Sanctuaries are still captivity, and while they do amazing work for animals in need, they operate on small budgets and do not have the resources of AZA accredited zoos.

        Not to mention how our Ruby who was ripped away from LA Zoo ended up dying in a sanctuary a year or two later. 🤬

        He would be going to an elephant sanctuary, not back into the wild.

        I agree with the Zoo. This elephant can die of a broken heart of he is moved. The learn to Love the people who take care of them. If you move him out of the zoo; where is he to go? He won't be able to live in the free...he won't know how to cope.

        Was this elephant born in a zoo? If he has lived their all his life...I am sure he is well taken care of. Zoos in USA do AWESOME jobs. Elephants are intelligent moving him for "human rights" can break his heart & he could actually die or thinking his human family does not ❤

        Oh, Ellen. I adore you. But please make sure your facts are correct before you post. 1, no decision has been made. 2, your “Free” is captivity with less oversite. 3, the sanctuary doesn’t have room, is TB positive, and the other proposed sanctuary doesn’t exist yet.

        Supporting elephants is great, but considering the misinformation and reality of this situation, it sounds like perhaps it would be worth knowing the facts and supporting animal professionals dedicating their lives to conservation and animal science.
