Mae Gohagae Lives a Natural Life

 

You Made Mae Gohagae’s Recovery Possible   Watch Now

Groupon, the major discount and travel company, continues to sell reduced price tickets to unsuspecting tourists for venues that exploit wildlife. We exposed one of these venues to you in our last email and we continue to urge Groupon to stop profiting from wild animal suffering and adopt a public policy that protects animals and doesn’t exploit them. Join us now to help us keep wild animals where they belong. In the wild.     Today, we wanted to share a video of an elephant named Mae Gohagae showing how she lives a natural life in her sanctuary where she is not required to breed, entertain, or have direct contact with visitors. You will hear from Drinya, our elephant venue project manager for our offices in Thailand, and you will see how the public is still able to enjoy and respect Mae Gohagae at a distance in a way that protects her. Mae Gohagae will never be able to return to the wild and survive, but here she has experiences that replicate the freedom that she would experience in her wild home.   All wild animals deserve a life worth living. Join us as we call for Groupon to stop promoting these cruel destinations and work to end all wildlife exploitation.    Watch Now

Thank you. Together, we’re changing the way the world works to end animal cruelty and suffering. Forever.

Sincerely,   Liz Quick-Corral Director of Development World Animal Protection

Wild Horses In Danger

 

TAKE ACTION!   SIGN: Stop Cruel Plan To Round Up and Capture Hundreds of Wyoming's Wild Horses  PETITION TARGET: Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Less than a year after helicopter roundups killed 37 wild horses and sent hundreds more to now disease-ridden holding corrals, wild horses in Wyoming’s Checkerboard Area are facing a new threat — a government decision that would remove more than 1 million acres of protected wild horse habitat, slash the number of wild horses allowed to remain, and completely eliminate two herd management areas. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the federal agency tasked with managing America’s iconic wild horses, has been considering for years how to fulfill a consent decree to reduce wild horse numbers that was handed down by a federal judge in 2013, following a lawsuit from a private grazing entity.  The BLM’s proposal, released this May, would not allow any wild horses in the current Great Divide Basin or Salt Wells Creek herd management areas (HMAs). Herd sizes in the Adobe Town and White Mountain HMAs also would be reduced — leaving only an allowed 464 to 836 wild horses in the area, down from the estimated 1,481 to 2,065 horses that roam free there now. The decision also impacts 1.1 million acres of designated, protected wild horse habitat – a more than 50 percent loss for Wyoming’s wild horses. The Checkerboard horses already have suffered enough: 37 died during the most recent roundup, and survivors have been trucked to the Wheatland and Canon City holding corrals, where there are outbreaks of the highly contagious and fatal diseases strangles and equine influenza, respectively.  Rounding up and carting off more horses to already packed facilities, where they could face injury and even death, is not the answer – especially when polls show that 88 percent of Americans don’t support these cruel roundups. Decimating wild horse habitat also is not the answer. America’s wild horses don’t deserve to have their free-roaming livelihoods stripped to cater to private grazing interests.  Concerned members of the public and animal advocates can protest this horrific decision until June 6, after which the BLM will consider the comments and then issue a final record of decision. Sign our petition telling the BLM that you strongly protest the decision to remove wild horses and eliminate herd management areas and that you would support other possibilities – among them, consolidating public and private lands in the Checkerboard area or other alternatives they didn’t consider during the planning process.
