Lucy is a lone elephant in a Canadian zoo. Several Canadian authors are urging the zoo to let Lucy move south to The Elephant Sanctuary.  You can go here and send a quick note to the Mayor of Edmonton and ask for his assistance in getting this to happen.

Elephants belong with other elephants - not in zoos where they are prisoners of tiny spaces and often in solitary. That is just plain wrong.

This makes me so sad... if he had gotten help sooner, would he still be alive? Elephants do not belong in circuses or zoos - period.

Here's another great pic of Dulary and Scott and a couple of the sanctuary dogs - and here's the link http://www.elephants.com to The Elephant Sanctuary - if you click on Dulary's Diary there are a couple of great slideshows. The rest of the site is marvelous, too!

This is Dulary - the Philly Zoo elephant who was recently moved to the Elephant Sanctuary in TN. She made herself a mud hole and is reveling in it! Reminds me of my cats and catnip!

Can't wait 'til she discovers the ponds - she's a water baby!
