Lucy the Elephant
Target:
1,000
Sponsored by:
Lucy the 33 year old elephant has been working at the Edmonton Valley zoo for almost 30 years.
Her zoo-mate Samantha was retired into a sanctuary for African elephants in California almost three years ago. Lucy can join Samantha in California.
Lucy can also retire into a sanctuary in Tennessee that has the perfect social setting and environment for Asian elephants just like her.
Its time to say thank you for all the joy you brought to Edmonton and help her retire to this sanctuary.

Please make a grand gesture and give the old elephant lady her ticket to retirement at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennesee USA or the elephant sanctuary in California.
She has worked for the Edmonton Valley Zoo long enough, nearly 30 years.
She deserves it and there she will find her place among the other elephants and feel at home in a better setting.
She is still healthy enough to travel and many other elephants have had this chance and have been given this chance for a better life.
Let her go to Hohenwald or the elephant sanctuary in California, with a big thank you parade and help her settle in at the sanctuary with her own kind.
Edmonton is too cold for her as an elephant and as she gets older it will be worse for her to endure such cold.
Lucy is not in a habitat and she has worked long enough under such conditions.
We, as caring and concerned individuals wish to see that she is safely transported to her new home as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
Let Lucy go now and be thankful that she lasted this long.
Sincerely,
City of Edmonton

Elephant Tears by Taras Kazna When the air cools off And snow comes down, The tears like gems Fall on the ground. She is the main attraction in the Edmonton zoo like a circus clown that blows in a kazoo. She has been alone for many years. No sounds of others come to her ears. Humans decide Lucy's Fate. She has no sisters. She has no mate. Humans say they care about her health, but the loneliness comes like they haven't felt. If she could speak, what would she say of being alone day after day? Do humans know how she feels? Can they read her dreams about the hills where the grass is growing all year round? Instead of cement she walks on the ground and to cool off she would flap her ears. Instead of humans she plays with her peers. Dusting with sand is her daily task, watching bulls on the prowl with their smell of musk, the shade of the trees in the midday sun, the youngsters that feel wind on the run, and a call of the leader To follow the trail smell of the grass, hay from a bale. The herd would understand the sounds she makes. Fresh water that runs from the emerald lakes and the safety she'd feel among her peers, but instead she is crying elephant tears And she listens to traffic surrounding the zoo, horns of the cars like some broken kazoo that cuts like a knife on her elephant ears. if only humans could see her tears.

What a shame that petitions and protests are needed in order to persuade the people entrusted with the care of zoo animal to do the humane and decent thing.
