While some commentators were claiming that the zookeepers were abusing the elephants, others were saying that they were merely precautionary tools.
One commenter argued, “They have to carry hooks in case something should go wrong. Those are wild animals after all.” Another said that these were common items used in zoos everywhere. They said “Even at my zoo they must carry them… just for safety, and those elephants are tame as.”
