Bob Barker trying to move elephants



A visit by retired game show host Bob Barker has at least one city councillor rethinking his position on whether to send the Toronto Zoo's 3 elephants to a sanctuary in the U-S.
Councillor Raymond Cho says he was worried that sending the elephants away would affect zoo ticket sales.
He says the former ``Price is Right'' host and animal activist eased his concerns.
Barker says other world zoos didn't see a decline in admissions after removing their elephant exhibits.
Cho said he had been against sending the elephants to a sanctuary, but now says his opinion could change.
Barker's in Toronto with elephant experts to try to convince zoo management to send the pachyderms to California or Tennessee.
