More delays in the transfer of elephants from the Toronto Zoo to California
Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Toronto
The transfer of three aging elephants from the Toronto Zoo to a facility in California has once again been postponed. Zoo officials say there are issues with permits, flight arrangements, crate training and the risk of infectious disease at the PAWS facility. Wrangling between the zoo, PAWS and the city over the elephants’ transfer has already caused several delays. Animal activist Bob Barker has promised to pay $880,000 for a plane to fly the elephants to their new home.
