Demo for elephants at the Oregon Zoo

International Day for Elephants in Zoos

Protest Against Packy the Elephant's Imprisonment at the OR Zoo

Join the Radical Cheerleaders for Animal Rights...........


When: Sat April 16th 12-1:30pm
Where: Oregon Zoo Front Gate

Info:
Packy the elephant was born at the Oregon zoo nearly 50 years ago. He hasbeen confined in a tiny cell all of his life. The stress and captivity
have driven Packy mad: He is currently exhibiting behavior that is typical of the severe mental illness that is often caused in zoo animals by close confinement.

Packy's continued torture by confinement is not necessary: the people of
Portland voted in an enormous bond for the zoo for the purpose of creating
an off site preserve to retire the elephants to a more humane setting.
This was years ago. The zoo has the money, but the preserve is not yet a
reality, and Packy is still living out his life behind bars, in a concrete
cell.

This Saturday, the zoo is once again choosing to re-enact one of the
saddest rituals of Packy's long confinment: It will be his birthday again.
The zoo will be trotting Packy out to eat an "enrichment cake" in front of
adoring cameras and laughing families. No one will notice that the object
of their affections is not celebrating with them. No, he is suffering. And
it's time for that suffering to end.

Please join us this Saturday to remind the public that another year of
captivity and madness and beatings with a bull hook is nothing to
celebrate. The only gift Packy really needs this year is his freedom. We
will be meeting at the front gate of the zoo to ask that the public please
refrain from laughing at Packy's pain. Instead, let us all ask for an endto his long confinement.

Learn the cheers........

Weeeeee're talkin' 'bout the world's/ largest land mammal

the elephant's endangered/ gonna blow out like a candle

In the wild they like to roam 30 miles a day

there's just nowhere to go when you're trapped in a cage

they form unnatural habbits and self-destruct

while the oregon zoo sits back and collects the bucks

if you want to give your children a good education

skip the zoo and teach 'em bout ANIMAL LIBERATION

Circus Protest

Circuses are not so entertaining when you know what is really going on. Listen to the lyrics of the song to learn about the horrible abuse elephants go through on a daily basis working for the circus. Please boycott the circus.
