The Elephant Protection Act (AB 3027), sponsored by
Assemblymember Lloyd Levine, will make it a misdemeanor to use or possess
bullhooks or chains near an elephant. This bill will also set minimum space
requirements for elephants in circuses and zoos. Elephants are highly
intelligent, social animals who live in extended family groups and mirror humans
in terms of emotion, age progression, longevity, and social bonds. AB
3027 will set minimum standards of care and excellence for elephant handling for
the rest of the nation to follow. For more information about the
egregious training methods employed by elephant handlers as well as animal
welfare concerns facing elephants, see Circuses.com and SaveWildElephants.com.
