A very disturbing article about animal abuse of an elephant.   The USDA had multiple fines, violations, etc. that were filed in favor of Nosey the elephant.   They have done absolutely nothing.  This is exactly why no one likes any division of the US government.   They have thousands of pages of forms you must complete and then they just sit on them and make no action.   It's very disturbing Nosey has had a difficult life which humans are responsible for.
