Protest at the Dallas Zoo!

Please join us to protest the part the Dallas Zoo played in ripping 17 elephants from their peaceful existence in the wilds of Africa, sedating them, crating them, and shipping them off to be exhibited in three US zoos!

These days, zoos around the world are recognizing that they do not have the resources to properly care for a large animal that requires miles of space to roam. And we are learning more and more about the incredibly complex emotional lives of elephants and their tight family bonds. But the Dallas Zoo, with profits in mind and a flagrant disregard for the lives of the animals, made a quick move designed to thwart detractors and sidestep a scheduled court date. Now five more sad elephants will be relegated to spend their days in what is for them a small, dreary enclosure, away from their friends and family.

It is too late for these five – but we need to make sure they are the last elephants the Dallas Zoo steals.

Please come to the Zoo with your friends and family next Sunday (but don’t go in.) We will have some signs – but any you can bring would be welcome.

If you have questions, call Susan at 214-577-6727.
