Lucy, Edmonton's Elephant
Zoo rejects bid to move Lucy
An interesting story in the local news right now is the story of Lucy, an elephant living at the Storyland Zoo. Some American celebrities think that it is very cruel to keep her here in Edmonton, because it is just too cold for her here. They say that she should be moved, and that she is sick and very unhappy living here. They want her to go to an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee USA where it's warm, even though she has lived in Edmonton for her entire life - 32 of her 34 years. But many veterinarians say that she is too old and not healthy enough to be moved and she would be unhappier away from the people she has bonded with, and the only home she has ever lived in.
What do you think?
Look at these sites. Which do you think would be better for Lucy?
