A 2003 report on the well-being of animals at the Greater Vancouver Zoo
July 1, 2003
In 1997 two reports (by Zoocheck Canada and UK veterinarian Samantha Lindley) called on the Greater Vancouver Zoo (GVZ) to improve the conditions for the animals it holds. In 2003 it appears few improvements have been made and, consequently, the animals’ well-being may be at risk. The case of Tina the elephant, kept for 30 years in a small, barren pen, is just one example of the problems at the zoo.
