Dear John,

Today at a press conference in Hartford hosted by Connecticut State Representative David Michel, NhRP Director of Government Relations and Campaigns Courtney Fern urged lawmakers to join the NhRP, Rep. Michel and Rep. Anne Hughes, and CT residents in calling on the Commerford Zoo to release Minnie to an accredited elephant sanctuary. Read Courtney’s statement here [[link removed]] .

Also today, in Boston, NhRP Executive Director Kevin Schneider testified in support of a bill to prevent the use of elephants and other wild animals in circuses in Massachusetts. Kevin also joined other advocates at a rally in front of the State House steps. Read and watch his testimony here [[link removed]] .

To help us free Minnie to a sanctuary and end for good the imprisonment and exploitation of elephants in circuses, please take action today:

Massachusetts residents: call your state representatives and ask them to support H.2934 [[link removed]] and S.2028 [[link removed]] .

Connecticut residents: call Governor Ned Lamont [[link removed]] and your state representative [[link removed]] and ask them to publicly call on the Commerford Zoo to send Minnie to an accredited elephant sanctuary.

MA residents, CT residents, and people who live outside MA, CT, and/or the US : sign and share our Change.org petition [[link removed]] urging the Commerford Zoo to release Minnie to an accredited sanctuary. Send a short, polite email to the Commerford Zoo at [email protected] [[email protected]] , urging them to release Minnie to an accredited sanctuary.
