Letters Free the elephants! Letter to the editor published in AM NEW YORK, 12/7/05: Former "Golden Girls" star Betty White is fighting against elephants, not
for them ("Betty White fights for elephants" 12/5). It is tragic that White is trying to stop efforts to move elephants out
of an antiquated, small area of the Los Angeles Zoo and into more spacious,
humane facilities. She is mistaken that 'removing the animals would deny
children the opportunity to learn about them.' All children learn by
watching captive animals is that we have the "right" to enslave and dominate
them. Teach children respect for those who share this planet, Betty - let this
cruel 'exhibit' close so that those intelligent, feeling beings can have a
decent life. Kiley Blackman Yonkers
