IDA Members Convince Discovery Science Center to Cancel "Elephant in a Bubble" Stunt

In response to overwhelming feedback from IDA supporters, the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, Calif. cancelled their planned elephant-in-a-bubble publicity stunt. The elephant who would have been used, named Tai, spends most of her life being trucked from place to place, coerced with a bullhook to make her move or stand still, and exhibited for people to gawk at. Please Take Action to thank the Discovery Science Center for leaving Tai out of the bubble exhibit and remind them that, as an institution of education and learning, they have a responsibility to promote conservation of endangered species by refusing to support the exploitation of animals like Tai.

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

I am writing to thank you for canceling the elephant-in-a-bubble stunt planned for March 18th. Not only would this event have been stressful for Tai, the elephant involved, but it would demean these majestic creatures and send the wrong message about conservation of endangered species.
