News Release:
Jenny the Elephant Is Spared Shipment to Mexico
Born Free USA urges Dallas Zoo to send her to Sanctuary
Dallas, TX — After weeks of protest, the Dallas Zoo has succumbed to substantial public pressure and decided to keep Jenny, its only elephant, in Dallas, rather than shipping her to a drive-through tourist attraction in Mexico. Although sending her to Mexico clearly would not have been in Jenny’s best interest, Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute (Born Free USA) is joining other national and local animal advocacy groups in urging Zoo officials to send her to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, where she will receive the highest standard of humane care.
