DETROIT ZOO TO GIVE UP ELEPHANTS ON ETHICAL GROUNDS
Asian elephants Wanda (L) and Winky spend the day in their compound at the Detroit Zoo, May 20, 2004 in Royal Oak, Michigan. Both elephants will be moved to one of two U.S. refuges this summer or fall following a recent announcement by zoo director Ron Kagan that the Detroit Zoo will become the nation's first large zoo to give away its elephants on ethical grounds. The decision comes amid a nationwide push for better care for elephants. REUTERS/Rebecca Cook
