SNEAKY AND BRAZEN: L.A. ZOO AND MAYOR RELEASE STATEMENT AFTER THE FACT. The L.A. Zoo and Mayor Bass just released a statement. It confirms Billy and Tina have been moved to the Tulsa Zoo. We are sharing a screenshot of the statement below. LCA will NEVER stop fighting on behalf of Billy and Tina and all the other elephants suffering in captivity. We will continue to keep you updated on this fight. (fb)

Where are our elephants? Billy and Tina have not been seen today in the L.A. Zoo. This is unusual. With no transparency and no accountability from the L.A. Zoo Director, Denise Verret, and Mayor Karen Bass, we can only assume the worst - that they were put on crates in the middle of the night, and are headed to the Tulsa Zoo. Where is our Mayor? The community offered clear, compassionate alternatives for Billy and Tina — but Mayor Bass refused to listen. The community demanded transparency — but Mayor Bass refused to listen. Mayor Karen Bass @KarenBassLA Call Mayor Bass and ask her where are our elephants? 213-978-0600 (fb)
