USDA seeking Public Comments on Elephant Petition
Speak out to improve living conditions for elephants in zoos
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is currently seeking public comments on space and living conditions for captive elephants in the U.S. This important decision is a result of intense media and public scrutiny of the plight elephants in zoos and circuses. It also follows the submission of a citizen's petition by In Defense of Animals to the USDA seeking enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act’s adequate space provision at zoos and circuses.
Specifically, the USDA is seeking comments on all aspects of elephant care, including lack of space, unnatural substrates, unnatural social groupings, and use of bullhooks, chains, electric hotshots and other instruments of force commonly used to control elephants.
Despite the poor condition of elephants, zoos are mobilizing their members to defend the status quo.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT IMPROVING THE PLIGHT OF THESE MAGNIFICENT ANIMALS TO WRITE FORCEFULLY IN SUPPORT OF DRAMATICALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR CAPTIVE ELEPHANTS.
Please submit your comments to USDA by December 11.
