Transcript

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

01:38He 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
