TORONTO, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- The debate over the fate of the Toronto Zoo's three aging elephants has expanded to include a possibility of a military airlift to a California sanctuary.
Since the city council voted overwhelmingly to shut down the elephant exhibit, employees there have denounced the decision to send Toka, Thika and Iringa to the Performing Animal Welfare Society in Galt, Calif., the Toronto Star reported.
