it's a real problem in the wild, and RB B&B is not in the business of letting valuable animals suffer. they are getting the best of care and living conditions

No kidding. That doesn't negate the effort to improve conditions outside of the wild. In fact, it has no bearing on the issue at all.

I'm not saying they are, but I'd also say there seems to be a healthy debate as what constitutes adequate care of elephants.

Again, debatable. I would think some elephant experts argue that anything less than a mostly free roaming sanctuary or similar situation necessarily denies one from claiming the "best" care.
That's not to say the circus is evil if they end up being wrong on this issue. We're all evolving in our knowledge and practices.
