On Friday, July 15, the Friends of the Woodland Park Zoo Elephants took their protest to the air. Towing a banner with the message “Zoo elephants suffer”, an airplane flew over Woodland Park Zoo and the surrounding neighborhoods.
“When people see the aerial message, we hope they will contact the Seattle City Council and WPZ to ask for the release of these long-suffering elephants to the Sanctuary”, says Sandy Clinton of Friends of the Woodland Park Zoo Elephants.
As the airplane was coming in from Renton, members of Friends of Woodland Park Zoo Elephants and Sound Animal Rights Alliance lined the West entrance of the Woodland Park Zoo, calling for the release of the Zoo’s elephants to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.
