A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, the Toledo Zoo has African elephants, female Renee and her five-year-old bull calf Louie, named for an early elephant keeper. The levy passed so that they will be able to expand their elephant quarters, and have bull facilities for Louie.

Wade,
This Male, went back to the Pan-American Circus in 1908 and 1909, when he was bought by William P. Hall in Lancaster, Mo. he was known as "YORK". After leasing him out for a couple years he was sold to the Toledo Zoo in 1912. They changed his name to Babe. He died there at the Zoo in 1945.
Bob,
Good information. Thank you.
Wade
