And with that, the 2022 #Vigil4Elephants is done. We will continue to remember those captive elephants that passed away in 2022 and the previous years as well.

We thank everyone that co-hosted, shared our posts and commented. It is a tough thing to research these elephants on

many levels. Gathering their stories, finding and identifying photos, and the emotional toll for our administrators of reading and writing about these deaths is heartbreaking. But it’s the least we can do to release them with the dignity they never received during their lives.

Unfortunately our job only begins again for 2023. Until zoos, circuses, elephant tourism and religious uses of elephants stop, this vigil continues. Please do your part by educating, avoiding attendance at those venues and participating in groups like this and all the advocacy

groups fighting for their freedom.

Thank you to the groups, admins of this page and for you, the supporters and followers for making this vigil successful. #vigil4elephants #vigil4elephants2023
