OREGON ZOO:
DON'T LET CHENDRA
DIE BEHIND BARS
Chendra, the long-suffering Oregon Zoo elephant, has endured years of chronic pain, disease, isolation and loss.
It’s time for the Oregon Zoo to free Chendra to the sanctuary awaiting her!
City Zoo
By Vivian Yeiser Laramore
The tick of time is out of rhyme,
Where wild things wait for death,
Watching the stars through iron bars,
And breathing each other’s breath.
But little man with his civic plan,
To conquer and subdue,
Acquires a thrill from broken will,
Of beasts in the city zoo.
Where wild things wait for death,
Watching the stars through iron bars,
And breathing each other’s breath.
But little man with his civic plan,
To conquer and subdue,
Acquires a thrill from broken will,
Of beasts in the city zoo.
