Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Please continue to call, email, fax Dallas mayor, city council, city manager, parks and rec director urging that Jenny be retired to the Elephant Sanctuary. If you are in D/FW Metroplex, please attend Wednesday morning City Council meeting and show our solidarity for Jenny. Like Lily Tomlin, we will never give up until Dallas does the right thing for Jenny. For City of Dallas contact info, go to www.concernedcitizensforjenny.net . Also, post a comment on USA Today article (see below). This article appeared in both the USA Today hard copy daily and on-line. Thanks.

Share it with Buzz Comedian Lily Tomlin wasn't kidding when she appeared before the City Council on behalf of the Dallas Zoo's last elephant, The Dallas Morning News reported. Tomlin spoke for about 10 minutes, comparing Jenny's enclosure at the zoo to a closet for a person and urging the council to send the elephant to a sanctuary in Tennessee, the newspaper reported. "An elephant cannot live a fulfilled life in a zoo," she told the council. When the zoo's new elephant habitat is completed in about 16 months, the city can seek another elephant, Tomlin said. Her pitch did include a one-liner: "The word 'zoo' is elephant speak for Guantanamo," she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
