Concerned Citizens for Jenny, a grass-roots Dallas Metroplex citizen’s group, advocates for retiring African elephant Jenny to The Elephant Sanctuary, a 2,700 acre natural habitat refuge. We are trying to save elephant Jenny now.
Jenny has spent the last twenty-two years eking out a pitiful and miserable existence in a less than one quarter acre barren and antiquated exhibit at the Dallas Zoo. She has lived in solitary confinement since May of 2008, which is inherently cruel, as female elephants are intensely social creatures and require the company of others of their species to thrive and remain emotionally healthy.
We believe that Jenny deserves better.
SAVE JENNY NOW!
By any measure, Jenny has had a hard life.
As a result, Jenny is an emotionally troubled elephant and desperately needs special care that she cannot get in any zoo. She suffers from prolonged bouts of crippling depression and has been known to self-mutilate. Jenny also has an extensive history of physical problems, including painful and hard-to-heal foot abscesses, caused by restricted movement and unnatural confinement in the zoo. This is very serious as many elephants in zoos die of foot problems.
The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is uniquely suited to care for Jenny, as its sole focus is the rehabilitation of elephants. This 2,700 acre natural-habitat refuge provides 300 acres for the exclusive use of its three resident African elephants and is world recognized for its expertise and experience healing troubled and ailing elephants like Jenny.

Jenny relies on each of us to speak for her, as she has no one else.
One person can make a difference in this world. Let that one person be you.

The poor elephant. But absolutely nothing will compare to being free.
Ugh. I hate the Dallas Zoo for this very reason. Most of their exhibits are not nice for the animals. I will go to the website you listed and see what I can do.
The Fort Worth Zoo is so much more humane in their exhibits.
yes the dallas zoo is awful and yes she should go to TN. BUT i thought that the dallas zoo was building a new exhibit and are bringing in two new elephants to keep Jenny company.
