The future of the three Toronto Zoo, African Elephants - Iringa, Toka and Thika - is an issue the community feels very strongly about. I have received hundreds of emails from citizens expressing their concern. On the first weekend in November, I travelled to California to visit the PAWS Sanctuary. For more on my Motion to retire the elephants read here. Enjoy these photos of the expansive PAWS grounds, and state-of-the-art elelphant barns.
