DESCRIPTION:Next protest: SUNDAY\, Oct 4 / 10 to 12 noon\n\nThe elephants a
 t the Los Angeles Zoo were removed and sent to the bleak Tulsa Zoo in May 
 2025\, even despite calls from experts all over the world to send them to 
 an elephant sanctuary instead. The city-owned zoo even ignored its own cit
 y council when it asked for better options to be explored. The zoo directo
 r Denise Verret claimed to be making the decision based on Billy and Tina'
 s "best interests\," but how can that be when sanctuary was never seriousl
 y looked into?\n\nBilly and Tina are gone\, but 1\,700 animals of over 270
  species remain at the zoo. All of them are subject to the same lack of em
 pathy and concern for their interests. The zoo is a business\, plain and s
 imple\, and businesses look after their bottom lines\, not the concerns of
  their commodities.\n\nWe are asking that the zoo\n\n1) officially commits
  to never holding elephants again 2) ends live exotic animal captivity for
  entertainment and transitions to an educational conservation and biodiver
 sity center of local species and habitats. We ask that the zoo embrace the
  zoo of the future starting now.\n\nJoin us at our next protest of the Los
  Angeles Zoo! Let's help make the zoo of the future an animal-suffering-fr
 ee reality!\n\nSUNDAY\, Oct 4\, from 10 to 12 / LA Zoo / 5333 Zoo Drive / 
 Free parking.\n\nWhether you want to hold a sign\, chant\, do speakouts\, 
 take photos and videos\, bang a drum\, chalk\, hand out flyers or talk to 
 zoo goers\, we have a place for you with our team! Flyers and posters are 
 provided\, but we welcome your own handmade signs as well. YES megaphones\
 , NO talking to cops.\n\n#zoosarejails\n\n#losangeleszoo\n\n#elephantsdont
