Task force to take closer look at WPZ elephants
Woodland Park Zoo’s elephant exhibit will be scrutinized by a panel of experts as part of a task force requested by Seattle City Council members who said they are concerned about the welfare and future of the zoo’s three aging elephants.
The inquiry was sparked by a citizen petition, signed by 7,500 people, as well as thousands of emails calling for an investigation after a Seattle Times two-part series, “Glamour Beasts,” which revealed that elephants are dying out in America’s accredited zoos.
To those of you who signed petitions and sent emails, THANK YOU!!! You DID make a difference!

I have no advice to offer, only to ask you to keep up the work you’re doing.It is inspiring to see so many dedicated people stay in the battle by picketing and educating to end animal suffering knowing it can be so tough and frustrating.I think this one is going to end in success for the elephants. Thanks for your work!
