FILE - In this Oct. 2, 2018 file photo, Bronx Zoo elephant "Happy" feeds inside the zoo's Asia habitat in New York. On Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2020, animal rights advocates have lost a bid seeking to get Happy declared to have human-like rights and transferred to a sanctuary, though a judge said the case for sending the pachyderm to a sanctuary was "extremely persuasive." Judge Allison Tuitt dismissed the Nonhuman Rights Project's petition arguing that Happy the elephant is "unlawfully imprisoned" at the zoo where she has lived since 1977.
