Elephant rides halted
Orange County Fair Board vote 6 to 1 to end elephant rides after watching ADI’s undercover video of elephant abuse at Have Trunk Will Travel (HTWT). HTWT owner watches shocking images in silence. Fountain Valley cancel rides too.
Special Appeal from ADI Ambassador Jorja Fox
I have witnessed ADI’s incredible rescues first hand – like Operation Lion Ark when they closed down every circus in Bolivia and airlifted 25 lions to safety in Colorado. I’ve also launched H.R. 3359, The Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act with them, in Congress. ADI really needs your help to do more. Join us. Together we can end the suffering of animals like Krissy the elephant.
