Sad news: baby elephant has died.

[Tarolisol]

Critics say this is proof elephants shouldn't be bred in captivty.

Im not sure if this has been metioned as this thread grew so quickly and i didnt get a chance to read the whole thing. But i dont understand how these critics could say this when the calgary zoo alone has had two succusful births of asian elephants in the past. Why dont they start criticising humans for practicing infanticide because it is a horrible reality that still goes on
