A horrific beating. A mother who tried to kill her baby. Breeding agreements with a business known for exploiting and abusing elephants. The Oregon Zoo in Portland does its best to market its elephant exhibit as family-friendly, but for the elephants themselves, the experience is anything but. NhRP Associate Attorney Jamie McLaughlin on the dark history of the Oregon Zoo’s treatment of elephants:

This World Elephant Month, we’re exposing the cruelty and injustice of captive elephant breeding. Right now, every donation to the Nonhuman Rights Project will be matched up to $10,000 thanks to a generous donor. Donate now to double your impact. 

Whether you can donate today or not, thank you for supporting the Nonhuman Rights Project’s fight to end the exploitation of elephants and secure their right to liberty. Together, we’ll build a just future for elephants and all animals.
