It’s the first day of spring. Flowers are starting to bloom, the sun is warm, and the days are getting longer. Spring is a time for renewal. A fresh start. A new beginning.
But not for Joyce, an African elephant who has languished alone in captivity for over 40 years.
While the world outside awakens with life, Joyce wakes up to yet another day of captivity in a cold, barren enclosure—700,000 times smaller than the space she would roam in the wild—at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. But spring doesn’t just bring new beginnings—it also means the park is reopening. More crowds, more noise, and more suffering. Joyce will be subjected to the relentless roar of safari vans, the ground-shaking vibrations of towering roller coasters, and the deafening screams of visitors. Instead of the freedom and connection that were stolen from her as a young calf, she faces another season of stress and isolation. This spring should be different.
Right now, you can DOUBLE your impact for Joyce and animals just like her. Through March 31, a generous donor has agreed to match your gift, dollar-for-dollar, up to $40,000.
