Canada stalls landmark elephant protection bill
Notas del episodio
A Senate bill would have banned zoos in Canada from bringing in or breeding any new elephants. But the legislation died when Parliament was prorogued in January 2025. Now animal activists are calling for it to be brought back. Filmmaker Fern Levitt describes what she learned making a documentary about Lucy, the only elephant at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. Then Scott Blais describes how his experience at African Lion Safari in Ontario motivated him to create elephant sanctuaries.
