The Colorado high court ruled in favor of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo after an animal rights group alleged the park's elephants were 'unlawfully confined.'

The group argued that elephants at Colorado Zoo showed signs of brain damage as the place was essentially a "prison" for such intelligent creatures.

Five elephants at a Colorado zoo may be “majestic” but, since they’re not human, they do not have the legal right to pursue their release, Colorado’s highest court said Tuesday.
