Elephant Draft
Innocent Prisoner The Plight of Elephants Kept in Solitary Confinement in Europe 2013 Cover Photo Top: ©Daily Mail. Hand of Desperation – Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna with Pole Pole at London Zoo, 1983. Bottom: ©BFF. Hand of Hope? – Virginia McKenna with Twiggy at Belgrade Zoo, 2013 Foreword Although what follows here is a ‘report’, what some might regard as a dry presentation of facts, figures, dates and statistics, it is far more than that. Innocent Prisoner is about elephants – sensitive, emotional, social, family animals – and it has a particularly special significance for me. Thirty years ago this month, a teenage African elephant was ‘put to sleep’ at London Zoo. Her name was Pole Pole and my late husband Bill Travers and I had met her in 1968 when she joined us in Tsavo National Park, Kenya, where we were making a film for young people about elephants, An Elephant Called Slowly. Pole Pole had been torn from her wild family as a two year old – she was destined for London Zoo, as a gift from the then Kenyan Government. Filming over, we asked the authorities if we could buy her and give her to Senior Game Warden, David Sheldrick, and his wife Daphne. Our request was granted but we were told that another little elephant would have to be caught. One way or another, the Government’s promise to the Zoo would be honoured. Unthinkable. Pole Pole came to London Zoo. Fifteen years later, on October 17th 1983, she was put down. In the 30 years that have elapsed, many things have changed. -

March 27, 2017 Council Member David Ryu C/O Nicholas Greif
March 27, 2017 Council Member David Ryu c/o Nicholas Greif, Director of Policy and Legislation Los Angeles City Council Via e-mail: [email protected] Dear Council Member Ryu, I am writing on behalf of PETA and its more than 11,000 members and supporters in Los Angeles in support of a ban on the use of wild and exotic animals for entertainment. Wild animals aren't party props, they don't belong at late-night ragers, and they're not willing participants in circuses. The animals used for these events have been conditioned to fear and obey their trainers through the use of whips, bullhooks (which, as you know, L.A. has banned), and deprivation. But no amount of training can overcome the natural instincts of a wild animal. This became clear last year when a young tiger named Gandhi latched onto a trainer's leg and dragged her along the ground at a performance. The woman—a former Ringling Bros. circus trainer—and her husband were filmed viciously whipping the tiger across his face and body dozens of times before he finally let go. Gandhi's story is not unique. Since 1990, dangerous interactions with captive wild animals have resulted in dozens of human deaths and hundreds of catastrophic injuries—including amputations, broken bones, crushed pelvises, collapsed and punctured lungs, degloving injuries, head wounds, and brain injuries. A cougar named Georgia, for example, was killed after she mauled a 4-year-old girl at a children's birthday party. And an elephant named Tyke famously killed a trainer at a public performance and injured 13 others before she ran through city streets and was shot nearly 100 times until she died. -

WHITE COAT CEREMONY 2013 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY Class of 2017
WESTERN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE WHITE COAT CEREMONY 2013 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY Class OF 2017 VETERINARIAN’S OATH As a member of the veterinary medical profession, I solemnly swear that I will use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society. I will strive to promote animal health and welfare, relieve animal suffering, protect the health of the public and environment, and advance comparative medical knowledge. I will practise my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I will strive continuously to improve my professional knowledge and competence and to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards for myself and the profession. 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY WHITE COAT CEREMONY For decades, western Canadian students with a passion for veterinary medicine had to leave their region to pursue their dreams. The situation changed in 1963 when Canada’s western provinces agreed to establish a regional veterinary college at the University of Saskatchewan. In 1969 the first class of veterinarians graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, and the new building was officially dedicated. Nearly 50 years later, the co-operative spirit that created the WCVM is alive and well. The College’s regional responsibilities for providing veterinary education, expertise and research are officially recognized in the Interprovincial Agreement — a unique document that is updated and renewed by the western provinces and the WCVM every five years. As a regional college, the WCVM provides veterinary education to undergraduate students who are residents of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the northern territories. -

Shrine Circus 2900 Rocky Point Dr., Tampa, FL 33607
Shrine Circus 2900 Rocky Point Dr., Tampa, FL 33607 The Shrine Circus does not possess an animal exhibitor license from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The animals are leased from outside companies, including Tarzan Zerbini Circus,* George Carden Circus,* Jordan World Circus,* Hawthorn Corporation,* Royal Hanneford Circus,* Franzen Bros. Circus,* and Circus Hollywood,* so Shrine Circus is not subject to citations under its own name. Each Shrine Temple produces its own circus, so animal exhibits will vary from temple to temple and from year to year. Exhibitors of Shrine Circus–leased animals have failed to meet minimal federal standards for the care of animals used in exhibition as established in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The USDA has cited Shrine Circus exhibitors for failure to provide veterinary care, adequate shelter from the elements, nutritious food, and clean water. Exhibitors have also been cited for failure to handle animals in a manner that prevents trauma and harm to the animals and ensures public safety. Animals used by Shrine Circus have caused deaths and injuries. Contact PETA for documentation. April 9, 2010: An animal handler with the Hamid Circus was kicked and thrown approximately 20 feet by an African elephant named Dumbo between performances at the Irem Shrine Circus in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The handler died at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries. The elephant had been leased from Joe Frisco’s Wonderful World of Animals. March 7, 2009: At least 15 children and one adult were injured when an elephant who was being used to give rides at the Murat Shrine Circus in Indianapolis, Indiana, became startled, stumbling and knocking over the scaffolding stairway leading to the elephant ride. -

The VEGETARIAN SOCIETY of HONOLULU Quarterly President's
The VEGETARIAN SOCIETY of HONOLULU Quarterly Volume V, No. 4, Dec. 1994 supporting human health, animal rights, and ecology* President's Message Greetings! Several years after the completion of the well known Cornell University "China Diet Study," which hypothesized that a diet that is rich in a variety of good quality plant foods prevents a range of chronic diseases, less than 3% of the findings have been published. Since the general conclusion of this largestever study of its kind is, in fact, that a lowfat vegan diet is the "perfect diet," we are naturally eager to hear more about this as it becomes available to the general public. In a recent edition of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine's "Good Medicine," Dr. Colin Campbell, the principal investigator in the study, has offered some additional insights into the relationships between diet and disease. In particular he cites the dangers of consuming animal protein, including effects on the immune system, cholesterol levels, hormonal actions, enzyme systems, and cells' likelihood of absorbing carcinogens. (Other research has found significant relationships between increasing animal protein levels and such common afflictions as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and kidney disease, to name a few.) Dr. Campbell's conclusion is that the use of animal protein is actually more closely related to disease than is the total fat an individual takes in, a close relationship in itself. Precautions such as removing the skin from chicken or substituting chicken for beef, while a small step in the right direction as far as fat is concerned, does not help the problem of excess animal protein; if anything, doing this may serve to increase levels that are already too high. -
