TOPIC: UPDATE on Lucy the Elephant in Edmonton Valley Zoo & Discussing the issues facing elephants in SE Asia due to a lack of tourism secondary to Covid-19

Lucy the Elephant has been at the Edmonton Valley Zoo for 42 years and turns 44 this year.  This is an ominous milestone as zoo elephants rarely survive to their mid forties. Lucy suffers from a number of zoo induced ailments which will shorten her life expectancy. She has no other elephant companions, which is considered cruel by elephant experts due to their highly complex social needs. The harsh Edmonton climate is detrimental to her health and painful for her ongoing arthritis and foot disease. Lucy lives in a tiny concrete cell and is only allowed outdoors for short controlled walks, weather permitting which means many days she never gets out at all.
