#1. ELEPHANTS DON'T BELONG IN ZOO'S!
Mimi who was born in India, gave 51 years of her life to human entertainment and financial gain at the Denver Zoo. She died in 2012. She was euthanized after a decline of old age and arthritis.
Dolly, who died this Month, September 2016, the Zoo said "she had far exceeded her life expectancy". “She suffered from foot issues and age-related arthritis, which caused problems with her mobility. In the last several weeks of her life, her appetite declined considerably, indicating more serious internal difficulties”
The zoo has three remaining elephants Groucho and Billy. At 45 years old, Groucho is the oldest of the Denver Zoo's three male elephants. He was born in the wild and arrived at the Bronx Zoo in New York in 1973. In 1986, he moved to the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas and in 2012, he arrived in Denver. He has spent 43 years of his life in captivity.
Billy, was born Feb. 17, 2008 at Dublin Zoo. At age Five, Billy went by truck to Amsterdam and took a direct flight to Denver. Billy has been here, away from his mother for three long years.
This is insane, these three elephants Deserve a comfortable life at a sanctuary. Where they would have the opportunity to roam acres of natural habitat, play in a pond, forage for fresh vegetation, befriend other elephants, and enjoy a full, healthy, and enriched life.
WE STRONGLY URGE THE DENVER ZOO TO RELEASE THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS TO A REPUTABLE ELEPHANT SANCTUARY SUCH AS TES..... (TENNESSEE ELEPHANT SANCTUARY).
PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE.
Thank you Very much..
