Today, ten years ago - Cecil the lion succumbed to injuries inflicted upon him with a bow and arrow by American dentist Walter Palmer, who paid $54,000 for the "thrill" of killing. It is estimated that Cecil suffered for 10-12 hours before dying. No one was ever charged or fined in Cecil's killing.

CWI thanks everyone who joined us in calling for an END to the use of elephants at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. We have wonderful news: the campaign was a success!

Tell Colorado Parks and Wildlife to uphold state law and discontinue their relationship with "Trunk and Humps," which NOT an educational organization. It is a for-profit business that exploits elephants for profit. UPHOLD THE LAW!

Even after many years of advocacy, the Los Angeles Zoo executive director, who is also an Association of Zoos and Aquariums board member, has decided to send elephants Tina & Billy to another zoo instead of sanctuary. Let Denise Verret know that Tina & Billy deserve better!! --> bit.ly/billytina

We are sad to share that Indu has passed. CWI had been advocating for her release from Phoenix Zoo to an accredited sanctuary for the last six years. We are devastated that she wasn't able to spend the end of her life outside of zoo confinement. Trumpet free, Indu. We will not forget you.

With the circuses slinking off to rural areas, in-person protest activity has waned. We are working on new strategies to end circuses once and for all. Sign up for the CWI e-newsletter & receive an online action every Monday, in addition to our monthly newsletter and other actions for animals!

Horrifyingly....Isa and Viola, both over 53 years old, have once again been dragged out onto the road by Jordan World Circus. DISGUSTING! We are confident that NO ONE would go to the circus if they knew that all performing elephants in the United States are ELDERLY! Speak out now--> bit.ly/isaviola

FACT. Don't buy circus lies! Elephants do not belong in circuses.
