Chai zoo elephant
Chai in Woodland Park Zoo

The Seattle City Council recently voted to send Chai and Bamboo to a zoo in Oklahoma where the weather is hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than it is in Seattle.

These two elephants MUST go to a sanctuary...NOT to any zoo.

Seattle’s Mayor and City Council needs to hear from everyone. If you are a Seattle or King County tax payer please let them know. Just a simple sentence and/or subject line: “Send the WPZ elephants to a sanctuary” will have a great impact.

Copy and paste this list to email the Mayor and City Council, some of the zoo board and task force members, zoo management, veterinarians and curators:

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS

Sanctuary is the humane choice that is a win for all stakeholders:

  • The Zoo saves the cost of the most expensive animals to keep and become leaders in compassion
  • Children will learn a valuable lesson in science
  • The Seattle Mayor, City Council, and citizens can be proud of their humane leadership
  • Most of all, Bamboo and Chai will have the best quality of life available.

Thank you for everything you do for animals!
