About this episode

An elephant named Happy will have to remain at the Bronx Zoo after New York’s highest court ruled against an animal rights group that said she deserved the same rights as humans and should be freed. The case brings about the question of whether zoos are a force for good or evil in the world. To debate Newstalk Breakfast spoke to John Carmody, Animal Rights Campaigner and Commentator, and Gerry Creighton, Global Elephant Care Consultant.
