re: Any of you recall riding the elephants at the Audubon Zoo in the early 80's?

I remember doing this as well.

Skipped school in 79 and took my nephew. Have pictures somewhere. And yes I remember the animals in those concrete and steel cages.

You can't do that anymore?

Nathan Fielder solved this problem.

Yes! I remember.

I wonder how those Elephants from the early 80’s are doing now.

Probably retired and taking it easy in a habitat similar to where Bubbles the Chimp has enjoyed his golden years.

100% correct

They could put the elephants toward the back of the zoo, where the fat people are to tired to walk to.

An elephant could easily carry them in their scooters. Build a boarding ramp and strap 'em down...Elephants are stong as shite...

Dude, back in the 80s we rode donkeys on the basketball court playing basketball in Jr high for a school function.

Also had traveling diving donkey shows where the electrocuted donkeys making them jump off a diving board into an above ground swimming pool. This is not to be confused with the diving donkey shows that used to be on display on both sides of the Texas / Mexico border. The donkeys in those shows had big ole smiles on their face after performing while the ones who had been in the pool were pretty pissed off after their performance...
