    Extractions: Zoos recognise that welfare standards, which have been evolving rapidly over the last 10 years, need to be continually reviewed. The guidelines define and recommend current best practice in all aspects of elephant welfare including nutrition, breeding, training and keeper safety. These guidelines are to be circulated to members of the Zoos Forum*, for consideration. It is hoped that the Forum, which includes representatives from leading animal welfare organisations, will endorse the guidelines and it is widely expected that zoos throughout Europe will adopt them. The document is the result of extensive consultation over a three-year period with all UK elephant collections, and brings together the expertise of zoo managers and keepers, veterinarians, zoo biologists, nutritionists and educationalists and others. The publication contains mandatory procedures with which all Federation zoos must comply.

    Extractions: WILD AFRICAN ELEPHANTS Two zoos - the San Diego Zoo in California and the Lowry Park Zoo in Florida are planning to import from Africa a total of eleven elephants, to live out the rest of their lives in captivity. This plan is in the works even though there are 300 elephants in captivity already in the United States. , the same park that took in dozens of baby elephants in 1994 after their families were slaughtered in a cull at Kruger National Park in South Africa. It would be a cruel irony if the same traumatized orphans who were relocated to Hlane to live out the rest of their lives in peace and freedom end up being traumatized yet again captured, shipped overseas, and condemned to live the rest of their lives in tiny, barren zoo enclosures. No elephant should be removed from the wild for public display.

    Extractions: South Africans Try to Put a Lid on Canned Hunts LYDENBURG, South Africa , April 10, 2002 (ENS) - Trapped behind an electric fence, the lion is no match for the wealthy trophy hunter. The gun is fired, the animal crumples - another canned hunt is over, all but the stuffing and mounting. The target lions confined in fenced areas - the cans - are captive bred, often hand fed and familiar with people. They do not show the natural tendency of lions to flee from humans. These tame targets are often drugged at the time of the canned hunts. The hunters are guaranteed their trophies and the game ranches their fees, reportedly up to US$100,000 per trophy.

54. Elephant Free UK Goals
    Evidence suggests that zoos at present offer little hope for the preservationof either the african or the Asian elephant species.  
    http://www.bornfree.org.uk/elephantfree/
    
    Extractions: London, Bristol and Edinburgh Zoos have recognised that the conditions in urban zoos do not provide elephants with adequate conditions. The Born Free Foundation would like to see other zoos such as Dudley and Blackpool follow London's example and move their elephants (2 African elephants and 4 Asian elephant respectively) to larger, more tolerable, parkland enclosures. ACTION: Write to Dudley Zoo and Blackpool Zoo politely asking them to consider following the example of London Zoo and seek a more tolerable existence for their elephants. 2.

56. African Wild Dog Info
    Rarely seen in North American zoos, the african wild dog is known by severalcommon names including Cape hunting dog, painted dog and painted wolf.  
    http://www.zoo.org/wild_dog/dog.htm
    
    Extractions: The numbers of African wild dogs has shrunk precipitously in the wild, due to loss and fragmentation of habitat, diseases such as distemper and rabies, and their destruction by humans as a "pest-control" measure in an effort to protect livestock. Historically ranging over much of the African plains, this often maligned animal calls the scrubby savanna home in limited enclaves located in sub-Saharan Africa. Viable populations now live in Tanzania, northeastern South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and small areas of Namibia, Angola and Zambia, in national parks and other protected areas.

    To enhance the captive breeding of african elephants, zoos are working toward constructingmore facilities capable of handling aggressive african bull elephants  
    http://www.zoo.org/educate/fact_sheets/elephants/africel.htm
    
    Extractions: The African elephant, the largest living land mammal, belongs to the family Elephantidae, which includes only one other smaller relative, the Asian (or Indian) elephant. African elephants once ranged from south of the Sahara Desert to northern South Africa. Today, African elephants are now mostly confined to parks and reserves. Habitat

The animals in the safari park have barns and sheltered areas into which they are ushered at night and during the winter, but these were not inspected.
