00:00Okay, I'm gonna go and talk to her. I want to do one more interview. This is how we're gonna play it because we're going under covers
00:10Lucy was born in Sri Lanka
00:13She was captured in 1975
00:16She was sold to the Edmonton Valley Zoo and has lived alone almost exclusively
00:23For the whole time
00:25We had to figure out a way to keep the elephants and earn money to be able to keep up
00:36There's no question that zoos cannot replicate everything that's in the wild
00:41That connection to people to get them to care to want to protect them in the wild. That's a zoo's obligation
00:48You know better now science has shown that they have feeling they think about things in a zoo
00:54They're plonked down
00:56Living completely alone so that we get pleasure to behold them
01:04If people saw even 10% of what these elephants endure
01:08Most people in our world would say my heart can't take it
01:11People coming in and paying for the privilege of seeing these creatures incarcerated people need to boycott it
01:16That's what they need to do once the truth gets up
01:18This should have been Lucy's rightful home
01:26The Edmonton Valley Zoo has brought in their vat
01:30One of the issues that has come up each time is whether or not that Lucy should be moved with her respiratory problem
01:35I think would be very problematic
01:38He reports the same findings every year
01:40He has claimed this about other elephants and been wrong
01:45Heavy-duty airlift involving wild elephants more than a dozen of them
01:49American zoo officials pulling off a secret rescue and now the debate over their transfer
01:55Intensifying animal rights groups saying they had a safe location and money ready to care for the elephants in the wild
02:01Instead the zoos secretly shipped them to the U.S. Robbing them of their freedom
02:06It was the most deflating moment of my career or my life for that matter
02:11They're just a mere shell, you know, they're forming majestic selves
02:19I will fight for her until I take my last breath
02:31I'm proud of her in the wild
02:37Address A merkwad
02:40I fell in love with her
02:43Who had been so sad?
02:44She was a poor one
02:46I fell in love with her
02:48She was a man
02:50She was a man
02:53She was a man
02:55She was a man
02:57I fell in love with her
02:58She was a man
