IDA'S Infamous List Of The Top Ten Worst Zoos For Elephants - Call For Nominees
Is there a zoo in your hometown with particularly bad conditions for elephants? Are the elephants swaying and rocking non-stop? Have you visited a zoo where the sad condition of the elephants has stayed with you long after your visit was over?
Then we invite you to submit your zoo nominees for IDA's annual list of the Top Ten Worst Zoos for Elephants.
For the fifth year, IDA will unveil this list of shame, which exposes the guiltiest zoos and most egregious conditions for elephants. Lethal joint and foot disorders, birth complications, abnormal repetitive behaviors and premature deaths have all been chronicled in IDA's previous lists, demonstrating the need for mammoth changes to improve the lives of elephants held in zoos.
Help us again attract widespread media attention to the suffering of elephants in zoos due to inadequate and inhumane conditions by nominating a zoo for this year's Top Ten Worst Zoos for Elephants list.
Take a look at last year's Top Ten list (http://www.idausa.org/news/currentnews/nr_080109.html)
and email your nominees to us at toptenworstzoos@idausa.org.
Deadline for submissions is Friday, November 21, 2008.
