Depending on the management system, does the facility have the appropriate equipment to manage the animals safely with minimal risk to keeper staff?
• Are appropriate barriers in place to contain elephants effectively? What procedures are in place to ensure the safety of the public should an animal escape from its enclosure? Is there a perimeter fence around the facility to protect the animals from unwanted intruders (including unauthorized people, feral dogs, and diseased wild animals) and to contain animals in the event of an escape from the primary enclosure? Is sending an elephant to a private elephant ranch analogous to setting the animal “free?” No, private elephant ranches are essentially large, unaccredited zoos. Although some may have more space than some urban zoos and are not open to the public, the animals must still be contained behind barriers, fed, have their health monitored, and be provided with veterinary care whenever necessary. Some of these facilities allow public visitation. Private elephant ranches, unlike zoos, do not breed animals and usually do not have well-organized conservation, research, and education
