Petition to save FRIDA, shut in Quilpue Zoo Chile:
"Frida's needs have been ignored and our duty is to require welfare conditions for it, at least, the care required by law ... FRIDA needs urgent diagnosis and treatment, his life is in danger. Quilpué Zoo has shown no capacity or resources to provide welfare and SAG Frida is background to this situation." http://actuable.es/peticiones/pidele-al-di...sag-salve-frida FRIDA died on 6 September 2011. We will be posting more information in due course on her topic on the "Elephant Deaths" forum. -------------------- "They need to move and have stimulation.

Hope Elephants seems to be indicating that it is in some way connected with the mission and work of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Please copy and paste this and email to all your acquaintances. THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL! Letter source is PAWS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please take two minutes to send the letter below to your congressperson. And then forward to your friends. This needs to go viral to help the animals! Best to mail but email at the very least. Thank you!!! Re: New (Nov 2nd) TEAPA, HR 3359 bill in congress to help elephants and circus animals. News article: http://tiny.cc/teapa1. Find your zip code+4 - http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/ Find Your Representative (upper right corner) - http://www.house.gov/ & contact them via their webform/email. Please copy, paste, add your rep's name & sign: Dear Representative, I am writing as a constituent concerned about the welfare of wild animals forced to perform in traveling circuses in the United States. I am writing in favor of the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act (TEAPA). Americans are becoming increasingly aware that circus animals suffer from severe confinement - unavoidable because of the constraints of a difficult life of constant travel on the road. Tigers, bears, elephants and other wild animals spend hours on end either chained, in small cages, or crowded onto trailers and train cars. A circus animal's life of ongoing deprivation is punctuated by moments of physical violence. Investigations have documented a pattern of abusive training methods where pain, punishment and fear are employed to force these wild animals to do unnatural and demeaning tricks. The tools of the trade include bullhooks, whips, and electric prods which are used to hit, "hook", and shock animals. Countries around the world, and cities across the country, have recognized the importance of banning non-domesticated animals in traveling circuses. I am respectfully calling on you to take a stand, with your compassionate constituents, against this abuse and work toward protecting circus animals in the United States. Sincerely, -------------------- People "would rather have a comfortable reality than an accurate reality." - Psychologist & Lawyer, Dr. Bryant Welch
