Dear John,

We want to thank everyone for your understanding and supportive responses to our statement [[link removed]] yesterday regarding our ongoing efforts to secure Minnie’s release to an elephant sanctuary.

Not a day goes by that we are not working to secure Minnie’s freedom. Much of what we are doing behind the scenes cannot be made public to ensure that we are successful in our efforts. Know that this is going to be a long fight, and we are committed to doing all we can to ensure that Minnie reclaims the freedom that was stolen from her so long ago. We are grateful for the countless local advocates in Connecticut who are working on a grassroots level to help both Minnie and the other animals held captive and exploited by the Commerford Zoo. This is a collective effort we are a part of, and all of us can play a role in helping to free Minnie to a sanctuary.

Some of you had questions about what we have done in addition to litigation and how you can support those efforts. Click here [[link removed]] to read about a few ways we have been advocating for Minnie’s freedom outside of the courtroom and how you can help.

In the upcoming months we will have new actions you can take to help secure Minnie’s release to a sanctuary. In the meantime, one thing that you can do, in addition to completing the actions in the blog linked above, is to send a tweet to Cher [[link removed]] asking that she help Minnie. Cher recently helped in freeing an elephant named Kaavan from a zoo in Pakistan to a sanctuary in Cambodia.

Thank you for your support!
