Elephants don’t belong in cages, and neither do our consciences—this act is a win for compassion over captivity.

Caring about elephants is fine, but gutting our zoos won’t save them—it’ll just hurt American families and local jobs.

Finally, a bill that puts elephant rights before cheap zoo thrills—about time we treated them like the sentient giants they are.

Another bill that’s more virtue signaling than practical—elephants in zoos draw crowds and support conservation efforts.

Ending elephant captivity sounds great, just hope the logistics don’t turn this into a bureaucratic elephant stampede.

Taking away elephants from zoos is a slippery slope; what’s next, banning horses from ranches because they’re 'captive'?

I like the intent here, but let's see the numbers on those grant programs before we get too excited.

Protecting elephants is noble, but we better ensure sanctuaries don't become overcrowded zoos by another name.

Watching an elephant pace in a pen? That’s not education, it’s cruelty—glad Congress is stepping up for these majestic minds.
