swish, poor elephant he had to work for humans throughout his life and at the end died because of humans😣

It’s sad that still today the African Elephant is still hunted for trade with many eastern countries as the Rhino and many other endangered species.

swish, yes, in St. Thomas, Ontario. There is a life-sized statue of Jumbo there.

Player #7106191, I also hate seeing animals caged, but moden-day zoos are becoming saviors of animals which face extinction in the wild. And I believe there is a movement to store the DNA of animals in this situation.

Player #20296030, I agree with you.
It's disgusting that humans are allowed to hunt such gentle creatures.

SusieQ1477, That's just 45 minutes from me. The statue is beautiful. I just wish he hadn't been hit by a train. He was trying to save a small, younger elephant.
Player #10639782

Tom, No. The word 'Jumbo' existed before the birth of this elephant ( c1862). It appears in a dictionary of slang published 1823. Meaning a large clumsy person. Slang is not well documented before this but it may descend from an 18th century slang expression ' Mumbo Jumbo' used ( very rudely) to describe African Languages.

SpunkyCoin10027, Because it costs money to keep and care for elephants, and zoos need to raise it to try and keep the species from extinction.

kebaso, China is an authoritarian country so could easily stamp out the illegal carving trade which flourishes there and in Vietnam, but the authorities turn a blind eye to the illegal import of ivory tusks and the illegal export of carvings. They protect their own ( money-generating) giant pandas - in fact people can be executed for killing a panda. Yet do nothing to help Africa's endangered elephants, or any other creatures - e.g. pangolins and any others that they find profitable. You would be sick if you heard the method they use to obtain kittens fur that is then passed off as artificial. (Kittens are cheaper.).

helmi, not that elephants and other animals weren't being poached in Africa as well,smh

in every circle name is Jumbo

Others agree. What has the animal done to be imprisoned in a zoo for life? Then humans come by and stare at them. I saw baboons slinging feces at the spectators. If any endangered species are being helped, then let the other animals go home.

This question reminded me of a poem we were taught in kindergarten.
Jumbo is an elephant,
The biggest among creation,
A thousand tins of water,
Is never enough for Jumbo,
J-U-M-B-O
JUMBO!!!
Those were fun times.

Many Sudanese don't know the story

Player Ejag, I hope that animals DNA is being stored to prevent mass extinctions from happening. Humans are the worst animal on this planet.

Elephants do not belong in zoos or circuses. Our Melbourne zoo has gone to a huge amount of effort and expense to develop the best possible enclosure for the Indian elephants, but still we see them rocking to and fro and looking depressed. Maybe in an open range zoo they would be happier, but it seems to me that they are too large and too intelligent an animal to ever be humanely kept in captivity.

jeremy, that probably because Africa is a continent and not a country
