The Los Angeles Zoo's decision to transfer elephants Billy and Tina to the Tulsa Zoo faces legal opposition from an L.A. resident who believes they should go to a sanctuary. Cher, alongside other celebrities, supports this cause, emphasizing the elephants' past confinement. While the L.A. Zoo defends its care for the elephants, critics argue that their current enclosure is inadequate and causes health issues. The Tulsa Zoo's facilities include a larger area for the elephants to thrive socially with other elephants, contradicting the concerns raised.
