Let's put sunscreen on the Elephants.

The Issue

Every year, more than 250 different elephants in United States zoos alone are scorched by the blazing sun and given such terrible and utterly tragic sunburns. Action needs to be taken to prevent these elephants from being burnt to a crisp like a very good chunk of roasted material. In order to solve this, we need your support to apply sunscreen to elephants everywhere.

Elephants, with the help of sunscreen, will no longer have to waddle around their enclosures, dealing with the scorching sun burning them all day long. They no longer have to roll around only to form a weak, rudimentary sunscreen out of the mud. Elephants already have so much to deal with in their daily lives, they don't need the pain of the sun too. That's why we need elephant sunscreen to become a reality.

According to research from Chaffin Mitchell, an acclaimed AccuWeather Journalist, interesting things about elephants and sunscreen already exist. Mitchell wrote, "A lot of times you'll just see the skin will look sort of angry. They can get blisters, it can get raw, and it'll look atypical and 100 percent it is painful." In this case, some zookeepers actually do apply sunscreen! This means that it's been proven that elephants can receive sunscreen without any problems. However, we still need potential signers like you to help with this cause. We want to end elephants' need to hide from the heat frequently and have the opportunity to stay in the sun.

If we reach a large number of signers, we can formally (and finally) grant elephants the experience of no sun scorching, no heat blazing, and sunscreen all over their soon-to-be-not-exposed bodies. When elephant sunscreen becomes a reality, we will also see an increase in jobs for zoos, and the profit from the sunscreen purchases will lead to sunscreen innovation for the world from the added money we give to the sunscreen manufacturers. With new technology comes elephant-tested and approved sunscreen types, and we can finally have our lovable big behemoths safe in the sun.

We believe this is a worthy cause. Only YOU can help us with this crisis plaguing elephants from the US and all the other elephant-keeping countries of the world. We thank you for your time, and hope you consider our message.
