Elephants being hurt at the Louisville, Ky Zoo MAKE THEM STOP - JOIN ME AND PETA  

As of today PETA has asked the Louisville Zoo (Louisville, Ky look it up on the Internet) to STOP HURTING ELEPHANTS!!! Yes Hurting Elephants. They are using a tool called a Bullhook and other Circus-style-training methods that hurt elephants. We want them to switch to mush safer ways of handling these gentle giants with what is called "protected contact." With protected contact keepers don't use the awful corporal punishment that has been used for many years. Instead, protected contact is a safety barrier always separates the elephants from the keepers.

For those of you that don't know a Bullhook is a long rod with s steel point and a hook at one end. The Keepers JAB the Bullhook into the most sensitive parts of a elephants body as a form of control. Such as, behind the ears, inside the mouth, in and around the anus area, and in the tender spots under the chin and around the feet.

I am pleading EVERYONE, and yes I know this is world wide to write the Louisville Zoo by getting the address on the Internet express your views, write the Mayor of Louisville tell him what you think. Make all the noise you think this shocking abuse needs to come to the light.

The above information was gathered from PETA and you to can find more by going to getactive.peta.org/campaign/bullhooks_louisville_zoo

I am not doing this for any other reason than to help these beautiful creatures. There numbers are falling in numbers in the wild and the way we treat them in captivity is appalling. I am ashamed that the Zoo in the City I live is doing something so cruel and unfeeling to animals and again I beg you to join me in loud loud voices and thousands of emails to the Zoo to STOP NOW TODAY.

I want to thank Everyone in advance for taking the time to read this post and write the email to the Louisville Zoo and then go to the PETA website and sign the petition. Thank You, Thank You.
