Australia: Zoo slammed for elephant's 'under-age pregancy'

This is an Asian elephant, not an African one. Asian elephants have smaller ears than African elephants, and can be semi-domesticated.

Also, according to an animal facts page on Asian elephants, they live on average 60 years in the wild and 80 in captivity. The article has the numbers mixed up. I wonder if that was a mistake or a deliberate ploy by the leftie paper to make zoos look bad.

Thank you........I was wondering about that, considering the animals are considered endangered, one would think they lived longer in captivity.

Look, I’m sorry. It was late at night and the bar was dark and she swore to me she was ten...

Erica Martin and all you doogooding weenie-whining anthropomorphizing crybabies: Just shut up. Shut your piehole. Do the world a favor, and go hug a wombat or something, but just SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Nobody is listening to you. We all have our fingers in our ears, and we are all singing, “Lalalalalalalalalalalalala!!” So shut up and go away. The elephant got pregnant because that’s what elephants do. Get over yourself.

Even if they made elephant condoms, who would they get to put one on the elephant?

...unlike the human female. :^)

Well, I have to agree with the animal rights fruitcakes here. We’re in the 21st Century and I think a cow elephant should postpone marriage and childbearing until after college.

[Tax-chick]

True, although I think habitat destruction is the bigger issue for Asian elephants.

Who else! SABU, of course.

"Up Simba!"

I’ve noticed that. It’s like they trip down the stairs and whoops! British girls sure are clumsy.

[JillValentine]

My guess would be the one named “Bubba.”

But it is unnatural to think that she will be a virgin until graduation. So time for safer sex and of course the abortion mill. Wont do ANYTHING to your fertility later dearie.

well.....those zookeepers left a young girl elephant to be molested. That bull elephant is a child molester.
