Bronx Zoo named No. 2 'worst zoo' for elephants as activists say 'Happy' is one pouty pachyderm: 'Cruel confinement'

"Happy's actions speak volumes: she can no longer mentally cope with her environment. Both Happy and Patty are in desperate need of a stimulating, natural environment with ample space to roam - somewhere they can experience the social and cognitive enrichment they have been denied for so long."

"The No. 1 'worst' LA zoo epitomizes the tragic phenomenon of 'aging out,' where older elephants become burdens to the zoo as their physical and mental health deteriorates rapidly and they lose their breeding value."
