For over three decades, #TheCommerfordZoo has imprisoned #elephants Beulah, Karen, and Minnie on its property in Goshen, Connecticut, and forced them to labor under threat of a bullhook at circuses and fairs across the Northeast:
This Friday will mark two months since Beulah collapsed and died at @TheBigEFair after her captors exploited her for profit one final time. That same week, the @USDA confirmed Karen had died in March under currently unknown circumstances.
Numerous state and federal agencies failed Beulah and Karen. They continue to fail Minnie. Fortunately, Minnie still has the chance to find freedom and heal from the physical and psychological traumas she has endured. Photo: @gigiglendinning
Join the NhRP's @courtneymfern this Friday at 3 p.m. ET for a Facebook Live "Ask Me Anything" video chat about our ongoing work to free Minnie from the Commerford Zoo to @ElephantsTN or @PAWSARK2000 and compel the relevant authorities to investigate Beulah and Karen's deaths.
If you can't make the live video chat, leave a question in the comments below! #FreeTheCommerfordElephants #RumbleForRights facebook.com/NonhumanRights/
