Another 'jumbo' step: After the Detroit Zoo admitted that elephants are ill-suited to captivity and agreed to send them to a naturalistic sanctuary, the San Francisco Zoo is doing the same! This is a brave move, considering the SF Zoo risks losing its position in the American Zoo & Aquarium Association, which prefers to see the elephants remain in the zoo system, rather than the sanctuary setting. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/06/21/MNG0179A881.DTL
