    These handlers need to be reported__look at the males head and the blood from the bullhook and his leg is strange and deformed and discolored__ someone contact peta– OH WAIT – that zoo is rated as one of the worst for elephants– someone is getting THEIR kicks off as bullhooking these poor sweet animals– Shame of them!! BOOOO!!!
