Singapore Zoo stops making elephants perform in new format for show

The Singapore Zoo has revamped its elephant show to focus on exhibiting the animals’ natural behaviour instead of making them perform on command. Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS), which manages Singapore’s animal attractions, announced the new format on Friday (21 September), saying it was part of “continuing efforts to provide world class care for her animals through improved animal welfare”. The revised show will be launched on Saturday, which is Elephant Appreciation Day.
