Welcome to your Prison, Little One.

Here we go again.

A new baby elephant  at the Oregon zoo.

Flood the media, plush toys at the gift shop.

Tickets selling like hotcakes, selfies galore.

Cue the fundraisers, ask for more.

Good luck, little one. You’re now in prison.

The zoo will call it conservation. Puppy mill breeding, but for elephants.

Be warned, though. Your sister died at age 6. And seven others died before they turned one.

This. zoo. kills.

But for now, it needs you alive. To make more money.

Start earning.
