Tasha

48 Years old | female | African | wild
Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium (Pittsburgh, PA)

Tasha has spent close to half a century in captivity—her life marked by exploitation, unnatural conditions, and the systematic stripping away of her autonomy. Born around 1976, living freely with her familial herd in South Africa, Tasha was taken from her home and family as a young calf. In 1979, she was imported to the United States and thrust into a life of captivity and suffering. She is currently held captive at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium in Pittsburgh, PA. Tasha and the other elephants confined with her all suffer from the facility’s lack of sufficient space and from being unable to engage in their natural behaviors.
