Breaking News and new petition.. Why do we continue to put WILDLIFE IN DANGER.. Elephants are slaughtered at an amazing rate of 55 per day or more and now the officials of the Namibian government are getting ready to capture baby elephants born on the Eden Wildlife Reserve in Namibia. Why??? Dubai Safari Park Zoo. Money talks and is the root of this evil of of buying, selling, trophy hunting, ivory and so much more. Reserves were created as safe havens for all WILDLIFE, and now we kill precious wildlife on their own safe habitat, capture and remove them to be placed in captivity without the ability to roam freely. Elephants are very social and have lasting bonds with other's in their packs. We are here to protect and save and give all WILDLIFE the RESPECT and DIGNITY they deserve. "NO ONE LIFE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER and ALL LIFE WAS CREATED WITH PURPOSE" Please sign and share, we must stand together to stop all barbaric action again all species of animals. Mahalo

An ominous fate awaits five young elephants who live at Eden Wildlife reserve in Namibia. These elephants are set to be captured, forcibly removed from their families, and shipped to Dubai Safari Park zoo in the United Arab Emirates to live out the rest of their lives entertaining visitors in captivity. Tell Namibian and UAE officials today to stop the capture and export of these five young elephants. Elephants are extremely social animals with lasting bonds. Their capture, handling, transportation, and life-long captive confinement in a zoo in the Middle East will result in physical and psychological trauma to these animals, and possibly death. Once captured and exported to Dubai, the elephants will spend the rest of their lives in confinement, exposed to extreme desert temperatures, without an opportunity to express many of their natural behaviors, and may even be used in elephant rides to entertain zoo visitors. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) restricts Namibia’s trade of elephants to conservation programs in the wild. Instead, Namibia has granted an export permit to Eden Wildlife to export these five young elephants to the UAE zoo. Please join us in urging the governments of Namibia and the UAE to halt any plans to transfer young elephants to Dubai Safari Park.  Thank you for speaking up for elephants and everything you do for animals.
