URGENT please sign to save TANYA the elephant from execution.

Tanya, previously known as Samba has suffered enough, from the age of one when she was captured in Kenya in the 1980s and taken to France to present. She has been beaten to the point where it caused distress to viewers. She is now awaiting decision of her fate due to an unfortunate death caused by her escape. The workers reported her appearing ‘angry and upset’. The circus is responsible for what happened that day. Read more at http://dailym.ai/13AKJZg 

Muriel Arnal, of rights group One Voice, said: ‘We were told that when Samba refused to perform one day, she was hit repeatedly by her trainer who only stopped because the children were in tears.

One Voice filed a criminal lawsuit against Cirque d’Europe, which denied mistreating the elephant.

No charges were brought and the case was dropped, with simply changing Samba’s name to Tanya, so as to distance her from the litigation.

‘Ever since then we have gone to see Samba every two months,’ said Mrs Arnal. ‘She is on her own in the circus, she spends her nights is a small lorry trailer and she performs a number that is contrary to her nature.

If anyone should be punished, it should be the trainer and the circus who at the moment are still in charge of Tanya and other animals. Tanya deserves a second chance not death to live a life that has been denied to her all these years.

Tanya needs to be removed from her present Owners, Cirque d’Europe and entrusted to One Voice. She does not belong in the circus.

please also sign this petition for Tanya on care2.

PLEASE ACT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!









Dear Sir,









We, the undersigned are deeply concerned over the future of Tanya the elephant after the unfortunate death caused by her escape. Tanya, previously known as Samba  was captured in Kenya at one years old and brought to France to a life of misery. she has been suffering for a very long time. she deserves a life free from confinement, beatings and isolation.









since 2003, One Voice have been working  to inform, alert and secure the release of Samba.









In 2005, the association published a report on the conditions of detention of the animal, based on several surveys conducted between July 2003 and March 2005.









The findings of the veterinarian recommended John Knight "insisted that
we replace Samba as quickly as possible in another structure that may
provide for her properly."









In 2010, after alarming news on the health of the elephant, One Voice organized a first circle of silence in Paris. A second circle was held in Strasbourg in 2011.









This fall, as part of "Operation What is this circus? "Samba is still in honor of a toolkit created by One Voice. It aims to raise consciousness about the truth of the numbers of animals in circuses. 









We request you to use all the resources, all the powers that you have to save Samba, entrust to One Voice who are working to secure her release and already have a place for her in sanctuary in South Africa. she deserves a chance to finally live free and not euthanasia.









Yours Sincerely,









The Undersigned.
