Bans keeping elephants in zoos and safari parks, moving them to sanctuaries.
This bill would ban zoos and safari parks from keeping, showing, or breeding African and Asian elephants. Instead, existing elephants would move to special wildlife sanctuaries. This change aims to improve elephant welfare by providing them with more natural environments.
Today, zoos and safari parks can keep, show, and breed African and Asian elephants. If this bill passes, these parks would be banned from doing so one year after it becomes law. All existing elephants would need to be moved to special wildlife sanctuaries within three years.
