Sadly so many people just don’t care where they throw their rubbish and Wigan Canal seems like a very popular choice which is destroying the home of the wildlife that lives there. Something needs to be done! #wiganflashes#cleanupwiganflashes#wigan
Regardless of what #YegZoo says #Lucy has spent nearly all her life performing for zoo punters.
Not because it was natural or enriching for her, but because Edmonton Valley zoos business model depends on it to sell them 🎟️
Come on @AndrewKnack you have an amazing offer
🆓 LUCY🙏
All our repressed emotions and subconscious desires in time lead to some kind of psychological or physiological breakdown.
So @AndrewKnack@YEGMayorOffice what would decades of captivity do to your mind & body ?
You have the offer be kind take it
#FreeLucy & her fellow non 🇨🇦
#YegZoos argument for keeping #Lucy in captivity > Essentially, boils down to a tactical deployment of certain words to create a pseudo-environment.
The ‘pseudo-environment’ meaning the mental images people create in their heads that #Lucy can’t travel & the zoo is wonderful.
Bars or glass,it’s still a prison. Captivity steals autonomy, social bonds, and natural lives. Tanks are no kinder than cages. Fight for sanctuaries, not spectacles. #AnimalsNotEntertainment
Miyako has spent over fifty years in solitary confinement in a tiny concrete enclosure in Utsunomiya, Japan. Since she was brought to Japan aged 6 months, she has never had another elephant as a companion. Sign this petition to retire her to a sanctuary. https://t.co/h58iXd4uXJ
#freeLucy Visiting Lucy does not help Lucy. It helps the zoo keep her trapped, isolated,and displayed as entertainment. Compassion is not standing at the glass and feeling sad compassion is refusing to support her suffering and demanding a sanctuary, not a cage. #yegzoo#Edmonton

We didn't understand elephants very well in the 1970s or '80s.
But there is overwhelming scientific evidence today that shows the harmful impact of captivity.
So @Erinforanirniq@JonMorganYEG why don’t you take this information in & go see what a 🐘sanctuary could do for #Lucy

Elephants are wild animals, not human property. They've never been domesticated only tamed, often after being poached from the wild. We owe them for taking them into captivity. They're autonomous, self-aware beings not commodities. Time to recognize their right to liberty.
Routine plays a big part in helping pets feel calm,secure from regular mealtimes & familiar walks, to calming support, toys & great nutrition.
BUT remember this 🐘#Lucy is NOT A PET she’s a wild 🐘 & should be making her own choices in a environment that allows her to do so
🆓🐘
Please sign the petition for Miyako! She has spent 52+ yrs in Utsunomiya Zoo 🇯🇵, primarily alone in a barren enclosure, making her one of the longest-serving & loneliest captive elephants in the world.

As the sun rose in #Yeg#Lucy knew that another long day of unnatural boredom was about to begin.
Sure enough #Lucy was to be forced out again to walk the concrete paths so 🎟️payers can take that 🤳& scream
“lve seen an🐘”
But do you really see an 🐘or a prisoner ?
Open your 👀🇨🇦
Do you not see the truth behind all #Yegzoo lies ?
When families are enjoying their bank holiday this May Day Monday
Think of #Lucy and please turn them thoughts into action
Time to tear down the wall of lies.
No more generations drenched in captivity & 🐘cruelty
#FreeLucy

Imagine a genius🐘 who remembers every face, mourns her dead, and feels joy in her herd's embrace. That's the Asian elephant,brilliant, social souls. Yet captivity rips them from family forever. This isolation breaks their spirits. It's cruel. #EndElephantCaptivity#FreeLucy
