On Tuesday, December 15, the Oregon Zoo will officially open its over budget and inadqueate “Elephant Lands”, which provides around 4 acres for the elephants, a little over 3 is outdoor space. This new habitat consists of small barren sand lots surrounded by trees and grass that are unreachable to the elephants. It offers little improvement to the lives of the zoo’s remaining 7 elephants. Join FOZE and IDA on December 15 to help us send a message and inform the public that this habitat is a waste of taxpayer money and of elephant lives.
What: Protest at Opening of Elephant “Waste” Lands
When: Tuesday, December 15 2:00- 3:30 pm
