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:

Last month, Philadelphia Zoo director Vik Dewan confirmed plans to breed the two youngest elephants, Kallie and Bette, even though they are both 25 years old -- a risky age for first-time elephant pregnancies. Dewan also spoke of plans to keep elephants at the Philadelphia Zoo in the future and estimated costs of an expanded exhibit at $27 million. Please Take Action to urge Director Dewan to halt plans to breed Kallie and Bette, and to send them to a sanctuary, along with 52-year-old Petal.

Also ask your family and friends to take action.
