These Captive Elephants Wished For Freedom By Forming A Heartbreaking Habit
%While visiting the zoo is often a pleasant way to spend a day out with the family, things aren’t necessarily nice for the animals on display. Animal activists have long stated that zoos are nothing more than prisons for some of the world’s most amazing animals.
