Help Free Minnie to an Elephant Sanctuary

For over forty years, the Commerford Zoo has exploited Minnie and forced her to perform for their financial gain. Last year, both of Minnie's elephant companions died. She is now held alone, without the psychologically necessary companionship of other elephants, at the Commerford Zoo's small farm in Goshen, CT.

The Nonhuman Rights Project has become aware of a GoFundMe fundraiser, expressly endorsed by the Commerford Zoo, that is seeking to raise $2.4 million for all costs associated with the care of Minnie. The fundraiser states that the Commerford Zoo needs immediate financial assistance to afford Minnie's most basic needs, including food and veterinary care. The fundraiser was created over a month ago. Accordingly, the NhRP is greatly concerned that Minnie's most basic needs are no longer being met.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Please complete this action alert, asking Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Katie Dykes to direct the agency to conduct an emergency welfare check on Minnie.
