Oregon Zoo: End Your Partnership with the Abusive, "Have Trunk Will Travel"

The Issue

In a report by the Seattle Times in was revealed that Oregon Zoo's newest member Rose Tu's baby is in fact owned by the abusive, "Have Trunks will Travel" traveling elephant circus. Oregon Zoo states they will purchase Rose Tu's baby but what about their partnership with, "Have Trunks Will Travel"? By continuing to work with, Have Trunks Will Travel" Oregon Zoo is in fact supporting elephant abuse. Oregon Zoo must not only purchase the elephant cut but also cut all ties with this privately owned, abusive elephant circus immediately.
