Chained up by all four legs

36-year-old Lasah the elephant was born in the wild, but has spent the last two decades in various zoos, put to work in a logging camp, and forced to perform in commercials and movies. It is time to finally stop this abuse.

For the past 10 years, Langkawi Elephant Adventures in Malaysia has used Lasah as a tourist attraction. Visitors ride on his back for hours, often in extreme heat and humidity. And just recently, photos have surfaced showing that once the park is closed, all four of Lasah's legs are kept chained.

When Simon saw the picture of Lasah's misery, he was so angry that he started a Care2 petition demanding the elephant's release to the Kuala Gandah elephant sanctuary. Will you sign his petition?

Lasah's life has been marked by misery and exploitation, and one can only imagine what he has gone through in the last 10 years at Langkawi Elephant Adventures. He deserves to live out the rest of his life with dignity, surrounded by other elephants.

It is against the law in Malaysia to chain a wild animal by all four legs, which means that the government can intercede on Lasah's behalf. So if enough people speak out, we may be able to pressure the Prime Minister into forcing Langkawi Elephant Adventures to free poor Lasah.

Sign Simon's petition right now to secure a better life for Lasah tomorrow!

Thank you,
