Please Forward This Letter To the Okinawa Zoo!!!!

[Guest guest]

Z.A.P. (http://www.okinawazap.com/) was originally assured that by

the Okinawa Zoo Officials that they would support an effort to

relocate " Kei " , their North American Timberwolf to a sanctuary,

acknowledging that Kei's present condition is " poor " and his

enclosure inhumane. Upon presenting the Zoo with the good news that

Mission Wolf in Colorado (USA) had agreed to give Kei sanctuary at

their facility, zoo officials " froze " and rescinded their agreement

to let Kei go!

 

We are now asking for world wide pressure and support to allow Kei

to live out his remaining years in a natural, stress free

environment.

 

Please forward this message everywhere and to anyone you can... and

please feel free to contact the Okinawa Zoo at the email address

provided to express your support of the effort to humanely relocate

Kei!

 

Thank you for your kind support!

-----------------------

 

Okinawa City`s Kiddie Land Zoo officials have denied Kei, the North

American Timber Wolf at their facility, her chance to retire in

dignity

to a wolf sanctuary in Colorado that has agreed to let her live out

her

remaining days in peace and tranquility in a spacious, safely,

enclosed

naturalized environment.

 

For months, Okinawa ZAP (Zoo Action Project) volunteers have been

trying to win her release from the concentration camp like

conditions

she has languished in for the whole 16 years of her life. On

November

11th 2004, zoo officials formally denied her bid for a better life

stating it was best she lived to the end of her life in the zoo

under

their care. They also cited that this decision was justified based

on

the fact that she and even her parents were born in the zoo so it

therefore would be the best place for her to die. They also feel

that

despite the fact that her enclosure is very small and virtually all

concrete, she should remain there in order to allow the children of

Okinawa to see a real, live wolf.

 

It is important that the world and as many people as possible be

witness to this very callous decision based on selfishness and

wanton

exploitation in which children are cowardly used as a cheap excuse

and

weapon to keep kei from returning to her ancestral home of North

America. In order to remind the zoo officials that the world is

watching their embarrassing act of cruelty in which they do have the

power to alleviate a creature`s torment from pacing, isolation, and

screaming kids throwing things at her, this message has been created

for others to copy and forward to message boards and friends to

encourage them to forward it back to the zoo officials with the days

of

Kei`s death counting up. Just increase the day with each new day

passing and mailing.

 

Please, remember to notice Kei with each day be sending this message

to

zoo officials, counting up to her last day of life and then her

death

on concrete -- the time when she will truly be free of the terrible

life her Okinawan captors here have given her.
