Explain this quote in your own word "Billy has support from Cher, Lily Tomlin, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, dozens of animal organizations, thousands of members of the public, and now the LA City Council's animal welfare committee and Councilman Paul Koretz have reaffirmed their backing for Billy," said Courtney Scott, Elephant Consultant at In Defense of Animals. "The Los Angeles Zoo has been a repeat offender on our list of the 10 Worst Zoos for Elephants because Billy's suffering is painfully obvious. LA Zoo has ignored Billy's signs of trauma and brain damage for years, so it's past time to send him to a sanctuary that is equipped to put his needs first in a larger, more natural setting.

He deserves liberty — it's time to free Billy." This quote explains more why animal captivity is harmful to the animals and as you can see how elephant billy has been harmed and is in a painful situation.
