Happy Birthday Annie!

September 10, 2019 by Kelsi

Our dear sweet Annie turned 45 years young today! We celebrated her birthday with a sunflower theme! What could be more fitting?! Sunflowers for the girl who makes our world so beautiful and bright. We love Annie so much and it has been an honor to watch her grow more comfortable with herself and others. Let’s all give a big cheers for the most wonderfully amazing Annie!

P.S. We will have a video for you all tomorrow, but I have a few photos to share with you in the meantime.

Our wonderful volunteers made the Green House look so beautiful:

TEAPSPA Day of Action

September 10, 2019 by Diana

In addition to being Annie’s birthday, we have something important for everyone to do for Take Action Tuesday.

We are one of several groups invited by Animal Defenders International (ADI) to support TEAPSPA (the Traveling Exotic Animal and Public Safety Protection Act) to ban traveling wild animal acts nationwide.

Read this post about chimpanzees in circuses and why we support the end of the use all wild and exotic animals in these acts.

This bill was introduced in the House as HR2863 and companion bill S2121 in the Senate.

Studies on the use of wild animals in traveling acts show that circuses cannot meet the physical or behavioral needs of wild animals. Animals are confined in small spaces, deprived of physical and social needs, and spend excessive time shut in trailers and train cars. These animals often demonstrate abnormal behaviors – rocking, swaying, and pacing – indicating they are in distress and not coping with their environment. Video evidence shows these animals are forced to perform tricks through physical violence, fear, and intimidation.

Use this link: bit.ly/SupportTEAPSPA to find your legislators, send them an email, Facebook post and tweet asking them to support TEAPSPA. Direct calls to your legislators are very effective and ADI has lots of talking points here. If you can schedule a meeting, you can let ADI know and they will send you a pack with even more information.

If you are on Facebook, let others know you’re supporting TEAPSPA by uploading a Facebook frame to your profile pic! Simply click this link and type “Animal Defenders International” into the search box, click on the “Support TEAPSPA” frame, then click “use as profile pic.”

Thanks for standing up for the animals!
