Now they'll only be displayed on sofa recliners - and they'll be wearing
wool slippers.

"Detroit Zoo to Free Elephants on Ethical Grounds
By Michael Ellis

  DETROIT (Reuters) - The Detroit Zoo will become the first major zoo to
stop exhibiting elephants on ethical grounds because they can develop
arthritis and stress-related ailments in captivity, officials said on
Thursday.

  The Detroit Zoo has one of the largest facilities in the country, but
its Asian elephants Winky and Wanda still have recurring foot problems
due to the cold weather, Director Ron Kagen told Reuters"




Maybe we'll see Winky and Wanda at the festival this year!!
