Three Elephants Relocated from Malaysian Zoo to Osaka Spark Animal Welfare Controversy

Three elephants from Malaysia's Zoo Taiping and Night Safari have been relocated to Tennoji Zoo in Osaka under a breeding and research programme, sparking backlash over animal welfare concerns. Social media footage shows Dara, Amoi, and Kelat responding to Malaysian visitors, with users claiming one appeared to be weeping. Critics have also raised concerns about concrete enclosures and damage to Kelat's tusks, turning the relocation into a wider debate over wildlife welfare and Malaysia's responsibility for animals sent overseas.

Minister Calls for Return of Malaysian Elephants from Osaka Zoo Amid Welfare Concerns

Malaysia's Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Arthur Joseph Kurup has called for three Malaysian elephants sent to Osaka's Tennoji Zoo in Japan to be brought home, citing concerns about Japan's unsuitable climate and an injury to one elephant named Kelat. Last Friday, protesters gathered outside the ministry led by social activist Kalai Vanar, submitting a memorandum to officials. Arthur stressed the decision to relocate the elephants from Zoo Taiping and Night Safari was made under a previous administration.

UK Passes 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill Banning Tobacco Sales for Those Born After 2009

The UK has passed the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, aiming to create a 'smoke-free generation' by banning tobacco sales to anyone born on or after January 1, 2009. From 2027, the minimum legal age for tobacco purchase will increase by one year annually, creating a permanent generational divide. The law also extends vape regulations and enjoys strong cross-party support, with 52% of smokers and 78% of the public backing the policy.
