US-ANIMALS-RIGHTS
"The Price is Right" host and animal-rights activist Bob Barker appears in a pre-recorded video at a press conference where he announced a USD300,000 pledge to match donation pledges in support of sending Ruby, a 45-year-old African elephant at the Los Angeles Zoo, to a sanctuary, 31 December 2006 in Los Angeles, California. The push to move Ruby to the PAWS sanctuary in San Andreas, California would be contingent upon the zoo's willingness to release the elephant that activists say has been kept in isolation since the controversial death of her longtime companion, Gita, in June. If moved, Ruby would have 500 times the space of her current enclosure at the zoo. Of the three elephants that the zoo had earlier this year, only the Indian elephant Billy is still on public display. Animal rights activists have been vocal opponents of the zoo's elephant exhibit and would like to see the exhibit closed and both elephants removed to a larger space.
