NPR Xmas Radio includes David Sedaris, who is an Elephant Jenny Supporter

[Guest guest]

See below NPR radio programming schedule for Christmas. Please note that David

Sedaris is a Jenny supporter. He advocated for Jenny's retirement to The

Elephant Sanctuary to his audience when he was a special presenter at SMU in the

Spring, 2009. When he autographed his books at SMU, he also included a little

drawing of Jenny going to TES.

 

If you are not in D/FW, you may listen to KERA on-line.

 

Please email KERA and thank them for broadcasting Mr. Sedaris' very funny

monologue. It will help Elephant Jenny if you willl also remember to mention

that while speaking at SMU, Mr. Sedaris supported Jenny's transfer to The

Elephant Sanctuary while he was in Dallas, where she still deserves to go

despite the Zoo's grinchesque insistance that she remain in her less than 1/4

acre jail cell, serving life in prison for no crime.

 

Happy Holidays to all (including dear Jenny). Remember, the Dallas Zoo counts

on our giving up and forgetting about Jenny. That is their stategy. If we give

the Dallas Zoo what they want and count on, we hurt all animal causes

everywhere.

 

Thank you.

 

Margaret Morin, Founder, Concerned Citizens for Jenny (and Vegetarian Network of

Dallas animal advocacy group)
