DESCRIPTION:Next demo SUNDAY\, Aug. 30 from 10 to 12 noon Nothing to do\, n
 owhere to go\, no one to talk to. Zoo life is no life for any animal but i
 t's particularly devastating for elephants. Meant to roam vast spaces in t
 he company of matriarchical herds or bachelor groups\, elephants have long
  life spans similar to humans. Imagine being an elephant like Billy who\, 
 captive from the age of one\, spent four long decades in small enclosures 
 all alone at the Los Angeles Zoo.\n\nSeeing the harm being inflicted on Bi
 lly as well as the other elephants being helded at the LA Zoo\, elephant e
 xperts and advocats and animal rights activists started campaigning for hi
 s release to sanctuary beginning with a concerned childrens' group in 1998
 .\n\nOnly one elephant\, Ruby\, made it to sanctuary. The others were eith
 er unalived or\, in the case of Billy and Tina as the last survivors\, wer
 e moved to the bleak Tulsa Zoo.\n\nOur city-owned zoo has repeatedly\, thr
 oughout the decades\, demonstrated it does not care about the physical or 
 mental welfare of elephants. The zoo's elephant exhibit is now "on pause"\
 , according to the zoo. Let's make damn sure the zoo hears loud and clear 
 our demand that it changes the pause to a permanent closure of its elephan
 t prison. Join us!\n\nNext demo: SUNDAY\, Aug 30 from 10 to 12 / LA Zoo / 
 5333 Zoo Drive / Free parking.\n\nWhether you want to hold a sign\, chant\
 , do speakouts\, take photos and videos\, bang a drum\, chalk\, hand out f
 lyers or talk to zoo goers\, we have a place for you with our team! Flyers
  and posters are provided but we welcome your own handmade signs as well. 
 YES megaphones\, NO talking to cops.\n\n#zoosarejails\n\n#losangeleszoo\n\
