Dear John,
Five African elephants—Angeline, Savanna, Tasha, Victoria, and Zuri—have spent most or all of their lives trapped behind the walls of the Pittsburgh Zoo. Denied freedom, space, and the ability to live as nature intended, they’ve endured decades of confinement in barren enclosures that make up less than one millionth of their natural habitat.
The elephants have been seen pacing, swaying, and even chewing on chains—clear signs of chronic psychological distress. Despite the zoo’s claims of “world-class care,” its history of dominance-based training methods, including bullhooks, tells another story. Now, the zoo plans to send sisters Victoria and Zuri to its breeding center, continuing the cycle of captivity for yet another generation.
Enough is enough. These elephants deserve the chance to heal, roam freely, and live out their lives in peace at an accredited sanctuary—not behind steel gates and concrete walls.
As our litigation proceeds, you can help by speaking out. Please take just one to two minutes to use our action alert to send a message to the President & CEO of the Pittsburgh Zoo [[link removed]] –urging him to release Angeline, Savanna, Tasha, Victoria, and Zuri to an accredited sanctuary.
Take Action Now [[link removed]]
Together, we can give these elephants the life they deserve.
Thank you for your advocacy,
