Tell these festivals to end elephant exploitation.

Action Alert

Dear Friend,

The Bay Area Renaissance Festival in Florida is planning on exploiting an elephant named Essex, who callous exhibitor Elephant Walk has housed alone for more than a decade, even though elephants are highly social and form lifelong bonds with their families. Handlers have also been seen forcing her to give rides while lame under the threat of violence from sharp bullhooks, weapons that resemble a fireplace poker.

Urge this festival and others to commit to a future free of animal exploitation.
