Anywhere But Dallas

When

the Dallas Zoo's 39-year-old elephant KeKe died in May, the media

spotlight shined on KeKe's cage mate Jenny, who either needed a new

home or a new buddy. Zoo officials decided to send Jenny to the Africam

Safari Park, a drive-through zoo in Mexico. A group called Concerned

Citizens for Jenny, along with council member Angela Hunt and even

actress Lily Tomlin, demanded that Jenny instead be sent to the

Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, where she would have more space to

roam. Eventually, the zoo and Park and Recreation Department chose an

option that no one was fighting for: Keep Jenny in Dallas by bringing

in another elephant and building a $40 million Africa Savannah exhibit.

We're not sure where Jenny's future should be spent, though anywhere

but Dallas is best given the knuckleheads making the decisions in this

city.
