Concrete and bars – what a life, eh?

Robert Wilonsky, the gentleman who writes for the Dallas Observer that I told you about in the post about troubled elephants, spoke with Paul Dyer on Wednesday about the Dallas Zoo’s decision to keep Jenny in Dallas. You can read all about their conversation here: Paul Dyer Explains the Reasons for Keeping Jenny at the Dallas Zoo. Please, no, PRETTY PLEASE – come back when you’re done reading, as I’ve something important I’d like to share with you! Thanks!

….waiting….waiting…..waiting….

Great! You came back! Jenny and I really appreciate it! Ok, NBC5 ran a story on Jenny – there is an article and a video. Here is the link to it: >>>>>>Jenny The Elephant To Remain In Dallas<<<<<<. Toward the end of the video, Angela Hunt is featured speaking her mind about the Dallas Zoo’s plans to build a larger elephant habitat. More importantly than the article or the video, though, in the sidebar underneath the video is a poll. It is a poll asking where YOU think Jenny should live the rest of her life! Please go take the poll and let your voice be heard! Do it for Jenny! Seriously – have you spent any time looking over The Elephant Sanctuary’s website? That place is simply amazing. And I truly believe that we owe it to Jenny, after all that we humans have put her through, to let her live her life out there in peace, where the objective is about her, not about humans visiting her!

Other ‘Jenny Action’ you can take:

Contact the Dallas Mayor
Call, fax, and email the mayor, whether or not you live in Dallas. (This really is so important – when this hit the national stage is when the council really started listening and deciding to slow odwn the whole decision-making process. So even if you don’t live in Dallas, like I no longer do, please feel free to let your voice be heard.) Politely but firmly urge him to retire Jenny to The Elephant Sanctuary. Civilly insist that he intervene in the Zoo’s decision to keep her in Dallas.
