Thailand

Houston Zoo (Houston, TX)

Captured from his familial herd in Thailand when he was just two years old, Thailand has suffered for 59 years under human control. He has spent more than four decades confined at the Houston Zoo, where he has been used for breeding, public display, and behavioral control since 1980. Thailand is currently confined with other elephants, including his offspring, who all suffer from their facility’s lack of sufficient space and from being unable to engage in their natural behaviors.

Rozie

33 Years old | New Mexico

Rozie is an Asian elephant currently held captive at the Albuquerque Biological Park in Albuquerque, NM. Rozie was born at the zoo on November 8, 1992 to Alice and Ranchipur–who were both born in the wild, captured, and brought to the United States where they were forced into a life of captivity. Rozie has never known freedom. She’s never explored vast natural landscapes, or experienced the rich, complex social life of wild elephants. Rozie grew up in a confined and barren environment, under the constant gaze and control of humans—an environment that has failed to meet the fundamental needs of her species.
