Campaigns[]
Lucy and Samantha[]
Lucy, an Asian elephant and Samantha, an African elephant live at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. Lucy suffers from arthritis and chronic foot infections. Samantha severed her trunk on a gate latch and lost 20 cm. or 8 inches of it. The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee has agreed to take them both. A letter writing campaign and petition are ongoing.[1]
Additionally, Zoocheck Canada launched a Kids Save Lucy campaign in June 2009 to help Lucy. [2][3]
