听力原文: The eight elephants from Thailand destined for zoos in Sydney and Melbourne are due to arrive later this year.
Wildlife campaigners have insisted that scientific evidence has proved that elephants in zoos don't breed well and suffer a wide range of health problems. On top of that, it's claimed they die at a younger age than those living in the wild or kept in parks.
