USDA – Investigate Care of Nosey the Elephant & Implement Penalties if Owner Found Guilty

  • by: Sue Lee
  • recipient: USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack

There have been concerns about an elephant by the name of Nosey that has continually been used in the entertainment field.  PETA has been investigating the care of this beautiful animal, finding great lack in its care. According to their findings, Nosey is suffering with crippling arthritis while still being forced to give rides to patrons and perform tricks, despite her discomfort and excruciating pain. Nosey is still part of a roadside zoo situation. You can read some of the information and findings presented by PETA at http://www.peta.org/action/action-alerts/usda-remains-unresponsive-uninformed-nosey/?%20PETA%20E-News%20E-Mail

Nosey is being “cared” for by a Hugo Liebel who appears to be suffering from some critical health problems, many of which are allegedly caused and worsened by Liebel’s violations of the Animal Welfare rules and regulations.  What we are trying to do is get Nosey the proper care it deserves.  Through this petition, we are asking for the USDA to do a thorough investigation regarding how Hugo Liebel is caring for the animal and ensure its health and well-being.

Help us in our efforts in getting Nosey proper care through their investigation and possible intervention if warranted.  Please sign and share this petition as you plead with us to save Nosey and possibly send her to a reputable sanctuary where she live happy and healthy for her remaining years.

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack – This is in regards to Nosey the elephant that has been under the care of a Mr. Hugo Liebel, using the animal in the entertainment field to provide rides and tricks for patrons.  We strongly urge you to investigate the care of this animal that is reportedly living in poor conditions in terrible health.  If warranted, get Nosey out of this situation and possible send her to a reputable sanctuary where she can live the rest of her years in health and happiness.
