Does this mean that if she was in the wild, no male elephant would have knocked her up?

But Erica Martin, who heads the Asia Pacific office of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said that allowing such a young elephant to get pregnant was the equivalent of allowing your 12-year-old daughter to become pregnant”.

“It is completely irresponsible,” she said.

So is Erica advocating a pachyderm abortion?

Sydney's Taronga Zoo has been reprimanded by animal rights activists for letting an Asian elephant fall pregnant even though she is only nine years old.

Who the baby daddy? The alpha male elephant?

[Tai_Chung]

Is she advocating abstinence or safe sex?

[JillValentine]

Twenty years ago, this would have been satire.

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.

Well that was the age decided by Mother Nature . Isn't demanding elephants following cultural norms set by human society a little specieist?

I don’t remember any elephants at the Sydney Zoo all I remember is a loud Lion. That was 40 years ago next month on R&R though.

Ya can’t make this s-it up. Can ya, huh???

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.

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.

[Beowulf9]

Her name was ‘Thong’ Dee. Get it? Slut elephant.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Ahhh teenage elephant pregnancy...stop the insanity...wait, strike that, stop the inanity.

So much for "safe sex education".......Abstinance works every time.

You know, elephants can be quite kinky. Here is Horton incubating an egg:
