Introduction

An animal rights group called The Friends of Animals filed a

lawsuit against the U.S. fish and wildlife services. The agency
issued permits allowing the importation of 18 African
elephants to Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas.

Facts

The elephants would be divided among the Sedgwick County

Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, the Dallas Zoo in Texas and the Henry
Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska.
The environmental lawsuit argues the service did not take into
account how the transfer would negatively hurt the social,
mental and physical well-being of the 18 elephants.
The animal rights group said the elephants were being
kidnapped from the wild and their families to be shipped to
the U.S.
The herd is to include 15 females and 3 males.

Authors Point
The Author provides facts about the concern of the Friends
of Animals group have on the three zoos trying to import 18
African elephants and the reasons they believe the
elephants should stay in Africa.

Application
If the Friends of Animals group wins this lawsuit it could
potentially encourage other animals rights groups to attack
not only zoos but farmers who raise livestock.

Conclusion
The Friends of Animals group has filed a lawsuit against the
importation of 18 African elephants to Sedgwick County Zoo
in Wichita, Kansas, the Dallas Zoo in Texas and the Henry
Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska.
If the Group wins this lawsuit it could potentially motivate
other animal activist groups to take action on zoos or even
on farmers with livestock.
