Anastasia,
Want to save an aging elephant from a truly miserable life?
Elephants are incredibly smart, emotional animals. They feel joy and camaraderie—and they can also feel extreme grief and depression.
Kaavan was still a baby elephant when he was taken from his mother and placed in the Islamabad, Pakistan Zoo. For the past 30 years, Kaavan has lived in a small concrete enclosure with all four legs chained. These chains have left deep gashes on his feet and legs. He bobs his head from side to side—a behavior known as "weaving", displayed by elephants to express despair and depression.
Make no mistake: this is animal cruelty. Please sign this important petition and urge the Pakistani government to release Kaavan from the Islamabad Zoo.
This is no way for animals to live.
In the wild, elephants roam up to 30 miles each day. They are social animals, and isolation is incredibly harmful to them. Kaavan has lived his entire life as a prisoner - it's time to give him the medical attention and love that he so desperately needs.
That's why super-activist Sue L. started her petition on Care2. Will you stand with her against animal cruelty to help save Kaavan?
These living conditions are absolutely appalling. Sign Sue's petition and urge the Pakistani government to free Kaavan!
Thank you for making a difference.
Respectfully,
