Protest At The Dallas Zoo! (date is tentative)

Please join us in another protest at the Dallas Zoo! This protest will be held on the first day that the 5 young elephants recently snatched up from Africa will be unveiled to the public.

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.
