Chai, Bamboo and Watoto desperately need to be relieved of zoo industry expectations to perform as "ambassadors" for their species. They do not exist for people to use them or profit from them. They exist for their own elephant reasons. They are the animals least suited to a zoo environment.

Nothing is learned by the public except to ignore the misery before their eyes.
