Lucy the 33 year old elephant has been working at the Edmonton Valley zoo for almost 30 years.
Her zoo-mate Samantha was retired into a sanctuary for African elephants in California almost three years ago. Lucy can join Samantha in California.
Lucy can also retire into a sanctuary in Tennessee that has the perfect social setting and environment for Asian elephants just like her.
Its time to say thank you for all the joy you brought to Edmonton and help her retire to this sanctuary.
To the Mayor and Members of Council
City of Edmonton

Edmonton, Alberta CANADA T5J 2R7
Please make a grand gesture and give the old elephant lady her ticket to retirement at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennesee USA or the elephant sanctuary in California.
She has worked for the Edmonton Valley Zoo long enough, nearly 30 years.
She deserves it and there she will find her place among the other elephants and feel at home in a better setting.
She is still healthy enough to travel and many other elephants have had this chance and have been given this chance for a better life.
Let her go to Hohenwald or the elephant sanctuary in California, with a big thank you parade and help her settle in at the sanctuary with her own kind.
Edmonton is too cold for her as an elephant and as she gets older it will be worse for her to endure such cold.
Lucy is not in a habitat and she has worked long enough under such conditions.
We, as caring and concerned individuals wish to see that she is safely transported to her new home as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
Let Lucy go now and be thankful that she lasted this long.
Sincerely,
