Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit IDA's Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Gita, an elephant at the L.A. Zoo, died on Saturday, June 10th. Inadequate living conditions kept the 48-year-old elephant in pain for many decades, and ultimately were responsible for shortening her life. Gita's companions Ruby and Billy are also suffering from the effects of intensive, long-term captivity. Please "Take Action" to urge L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to send them to a sanctuary before they meet the same sad fate as Gita. Also tell a friend about this campaign and donate to IDA so that we can continue our important work for animals.
