The Officials said that visitors can watch the elephant show free of charge. They said that a twenty minute performance is conducted by four elephants.The elephants are said to be well trained and are in good health.
Animal Rights activists however have protested that these shows while attracting children who visit the zoo are demeaning for the animals concerned. Pix by Indika Handuwala
