Funnily enough, I was just wondering the other day what happened to Steve-O, that crazy, masochistic, but still, for some unknown reason, lovable prankster from Jackass.
Seems he's been keeping himself busy with an altogether healthier pursuit, recently leading a PETA Protest outside the Edmonton Valley Zoo, asking zoo officials to allow Lucy, the lonely elephant at the zoo, to retire to an elephant sanctuary.
Elephants in their natural habitat are able to walk many miles a day, and need to be able to move freely to stay healthy. Obviously the conditions in the zoo, and the harsh winters. mean this is impossible for Lucy, and she often has to spend many months inside a barn. Couple this with arthritis, respiratory ailments and loneliness, and it's no wonder Steve-O and many others are concerned about Lucy.
