Miyako has spent over fifty years in solitary confinement in a tiny enclosure in Utsunomiya, Japan. Since she was brought to Japan aged 6 months, she has never had another Elephant as a companion.
Please sign this petition to retire Miyako to a sanctuary.

This is why I’m here in Thailand for my birthday — it’s a @karmagawa rescue mission we’re gonna rescue this poor 45-year-old elephant who’s been chained up her entire life and the only time she gets unshackled is when she’s forced to carry ignorant tourists who pay to ride her…and then after the ride, it’s right back to her shackles :(
This cruelty MUST end so please retweet this and help me warn everyone:
NEVER RIDE ELEPHANTS AS THAT FUNDS THIS CYCLE OF ABUSE!
Even though he’s a giant baby elephant, he’s still just a baby at heart! He still wants to sleep next to his owner. I think I could handle all this immense love pressing down on me while sleeping 🐘🥰
🎢 Today, Six Flags Great Adventure reopens for the 2026 season—but Joyce and the other elephants are still trapped in captivity. Elephants don’t belong in amusement parks. 🐘💔
