As local media in New York have been steadily reporting, our elephant client Happy has disappeared from view at the Bronx Zoo. It’s now been over a month since she’s been seen outside, and the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, continue to claim that nothing’s wrong. Meanwhile, eyewitnesses have now begun to observe Patty (pictured above in the zoo’s elephant barn) becoming more distressed by the noisy monorail that takes visitors past the exhibit–rumbling and charging as it drives by.
Please join us in calling for full transparency from the Bronx Zoo as to what’s happening as well as for Happy and Patty’s immediate release to an elephant sanctuary. Click the button below to send a message directly to Jim Breheny, Director of the Bronx Zoo: |
Thank you for helping us keep up the public pressure, John. More to come soon. Courtney Fern Director of Government Relations, the NhRP |
