Dear John,

Thank you to everyone who joined our final interview in the #FreeTheFresnoElephants Interview Series with Gigi Glendinning. The images she shared today of her visit to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo are a prime example of how zoos are designed for the enjoyment and benefit of the human visitors and not the conservation and protection of nonhuman animals. As Gigi said in today’s Zoom, “When zoos talk about conservation they are talking about conserving a captive population ... and they’re really holding tight to the notion that you have to see an animal up close to care about it. And that is simply not true.”

To see more of Gigi’s work, you can visit her website [[link removed]] along with her Instagram page [[link removed]] . You can also find on our Instagram [[link removed]] a series her photos of the wires, spikes, and other barriers that are a defining feature of the Fresno elephants’ imprisonment. In the Zoom, she mentioned she follows many photographers whose work focuses on nonhuman animals. You can follow her three favorites @aaron_gekoski [[link removed]] , @paulhiltonphoto [[link removed]] , and @weanimals. [[link removed]]
