KHS Animal Science 4th and 5th year students had opportunity to go visit the Ringling Brothers Center for Elephant Conservatory in Polk City to learn about Asian Elephant husbandry. They got to tour the facility, witness elephants being cared for, and interact with an elephant up close. They learned about animal wel-fare versus animal rights and were able to discuss how raising exotic animals mirrors agricultural livestock.
