SeattleCouncilmember Sally Bagshaw issued the following statement regarding the Woodland Park Zoo’s announcement today that the elephant program will be phased-out:

“Thanks to the Woodland Park Zoo director and board for making the decision to find a new home for Chai and Bamboo.

I look forward to learning more about the proposed schedule and the location where Chai and Bamboo will enjoy their retirement.”
