Alice, a 52-year-old elephant at the ABQ BioPark Zoo, recently escaped her enclosure after breaking through a steel fence.

She was safely returned—but this should never have happened.

When an elephant can break out of its habitat, it raises serious concerns about safety, enclosure strength, and overall care. This was a close call, and it must be taken seriously.

We are calling on the ABQ BioPark and the City of Albuquerque to act now. The public deserves clear answers about how this happened and what will change moving forward.

Most importantly, elephants like Alice deserve safe, secure, and humane environments that meet their needs. Stronger enclosures, regular inspections, and transparency are essential.

This is about protecting animals and maintaining trust with the community.

Alice is safe, but we can’t ignore what this incident revealed.

Sign this petition to demand safer, more humane conditions for elephants at the ABQ BioPark.
