You remember the El Paso Zoo? It�s the place where two
years ago they beat the hell out of an elephant named Sissy. We were
able to free Sissy and place her in her new home at the Elephant
Sanctuary in Tennessee (see
www.elephants.com ). Now we have another opportunity to liberate
another elephant from the same zoo. The opening occurred not through
another beating, but rather the death of Mona, who was at the El Paso
zoo since the 1950s. Now Savannah is the only elephant at the zoo; she
is 52 years old and like Sissy and Mona has spent her entire life in
captivity. The El Paso zoo director, Bill Torgerson, wants to get more
elephants to keep her company, but of course the better idea is to
retire Savannah and release her to the Elephant Sanctuary, where she can
be reunited with her old friend, Sissy, this time as a free being. Carol
Buckley at the Elephant Sanctuary has agreed to take Savannah. Please
help us put pressure on the zoo director and the city to retire Savannah
to the Elephant Sanctuary � she has paid her dues to the human slavery
machine. Please write a polite letter to the Mayor and City Council
members, urging them to take this opportunity to free Savannah (you can
cut and paste their addresses and send them all one letter at once).
Thank you!
