Make Your Voice Heard to Protect Elephants
There are over 600 captive elephants in the U.S., most of which are suffering due to inadequate space, unnatural conditions, lack of exercise and social deprivation. They are often forced to stand in the same place for hours upon hours, chained by the leg. Exhibited elephants are usually kept “in check” and trained with the use of a bullhook, or ankus, a device with a long handle and a sharp metal hook used for discipline.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking public comments on space and living conditions for captive elephants in the U.S. in order to consider the enforcement of the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) at zoos and circuses. Please help us improve the plight of these magnificent animals by filling out the petition form below with your comments in support of dramatically improving the standards for captive elephants.
