(AP) A segment of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo was cleared out and visitors were warned to remain inside buildings after a 5,000-pound rhinoceros briefly escaped its enclosure, officials there confirmed. IDA calls for the zoo to "radically modify is exploitative breeding and relocation plans for elephants. If these elephants won’t be placed in a certified sanctuary, the zoo should at least preserve what precious little remains of these elephants’ social and familial relationships.” The purpose of the male elephants is to breed with the Swaziland females and produce more calves for zoos. The African Grasslands exhibit, the elephants’ home, is the largest exhibit at the Omaha zoo. When six of those animals arrived here in March 2016, it ended the zoo’s five-year drought without elephants. Warren was part of an import of 17 elephants last year from Swaziland to zoos in Omaha, Wichita and Dallas. Conservation for elephants cannot be achieved in captivity, nor can it be achieved by stealing elephants from the wild to prop up dying and dysfunctional captive zoo populations.” “Warren’s tragic story shows how elephants in captivity are treated as mere commodities to be traded for maximum profit, and bulls are simply the means to the bottom line: money. “Warren suffered a short, stolen life at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium,” IDA elephant scientist Toni Frohoff said. Zoo vets took emergency measures, but they were unable to revive him. He had been the lone male in Omaha’s herd until the arrival of Louie last summer.
