New York: Take a stand to protect elephants

Photo credit: Adam Peyman/HSI

The passage of S.2098B/A.464B would prohibit the use of elephants in circuses and other traveling shows across the state of New York and put an end to their suffering. The legislature showed strong bipartisan support for this bill. Now, it just needs the governor's signature to become law.

The use of elephants in circuses and other traveling shows brings nothing but misery and suffering to these magnificent animals who are denied everything that is natural and important to them. They are poked and prodded with sharp and painful metal bullhooks, forced to perform ridiculous tricks and endure extreme confinement while chained in trucks and trailers for months of grueling travel.

Elephants in exhibitions also pose public safety risks by bringing people into close proximity to incredibly powerful, unpredictable and stressed wild animals. When an elephant rebels against a trainer’s physical dominance, trainers cannot protect themselves let alone the general public. Elephants in such shows have rampaged, causing injuries to members of the public and injuring and killing handlers.

As the public has become increasingly aware of the plight of elephants, a growing number of states, counties and cities are passing important legislation to address this issue, including New York City.

TAKE ACTION
Please take a moment to call Gov. Cuomo at 518-474-8390 now and urge him to expand this historic move statewide by signing S.2098B/A.464B, the Elephant Protection Act. You can say, "I'm your constituent. Please support S.2098B/A.464B to protect elephants from abuse in circuses and traveling shows."

After your call, use the form below to send a follow-up message. Editing your message will help it stand out.

Your Message

* Subject:

Dear Gov. Cuomo,

As a concerned New York resident, I am urging your support of S.2098B/A.464B to prohibit the use of elephants in circuses and other traveling shows. 

These elephants are trained with painful punishment using sharp bullhooks, bullied to perform unnatural tricks and endure extreme confinement while chained in trucks and trailers for months at a time. Using elephants in traveling shows also poses serious public safety risks by bringing stressed and powerful wild animals into close proximity with circusgoers.
