US-ANIMALS-RIGHTS
The Indian elephant Billy, sole remaining elephant on public display at the Los Angeles Zoo, is seen as Ruby, a 45-year-old African elephant that activist want to send to a sanctuary, remains out of public view 13 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.
