Dear ones -- I get daily emails on many petitions, specifically the ones including elephants. This report came into my inbox this evening and I knew I had to share it with you all. It's not pretty -- it shows real evidence that the CEC is just not the right place for any animal, let alone the elephants that have been serving Ringling Bros. for years. I have attached the link below. Please share and continue to educate people on what it means to support this facility. Link to report: http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/CenterforElephantConservationAbuse.pdf From what I have heard, Microsoft is offering virtual tours of the CEC online for anyone with a connection to "tour" the facility. Not only will this give people the wrong idea about the CEC, imagine what it can teach young kids about the treatment of wildlife. PETA has a petition online that they've started against Microsoft for this very thing: http://www.peta.org/action/action-alerts/urge-microsoft-end-virtual-tours-ringlings-breeding-compound/?utm_campaign=081916%20PETA%20E-News&utm_source=PETA%20E-Mail&utm_medium=E-News I realize that some of you don't support PETA and that's OK. This petition is strictly objective and I am not affiliated with anyone. However, I would still invite you to tweet to Microsoft or email them to get your message across: @Microsoft Thank you all again for your dedicated support. I realize that this report may not spell anything pleasant right now for your Friday night, but sometimes, the bitter truth is what gets us closer to freedom for these elephants. In case anyone ever disputes your claims that the CEC is not the right place for any animal, I hope this report sheds much needed light on the dire situation. Thank you!
