Can you explain how this can ever be justified @theglobeandmail.com

@cityofedmonton.bsky.social
Having total control over an elephants bodily functions is not autonomy.
You should be truly ashamed & investigate why this is happening.
Better still free Lucy to sanctuary.

The current temperature is -33C. It has been very cold for the past few weeks. So Lucy is stuck in that dismal barn 24/7. Elephants are not indoor animals. Poor Lucy 😭

We need to demand that the next leader of the Liberal Party commits to enforcing laws meant to protect Lucy & ensures Lucy gets the care she desperately needs.
🙏 📧 the candidates in pic & ask:
Will you commit to enforcing existing laws to ensure Lucy is sent to a sanctuary 👇

Severe winter weather conditions for areas northeast and south of Edmonton are impacting travel. Heavy snow and strong winds are causing dangerous driving conditions with zero visibility.
Area highways and roads may be closed without notice.
Please think of poor #Lucy 😢

2025 LEAP has its 10th Anniversary. When we started this grassroots organization, we didn’t think we’d still be fighting for Lucy to go to sanctuary 10 years later! We’ve had our hopes raised up and dashed down. We’ve had admins, organizations, followers and supporters come and go over those past 10

Feels like -13 in #Edmonton today and once again #Lucy has a long freezing winter ahead of her.
Her new report says she’s really well and healthy for an older elephant. But once again come the excuses.
As Edmonton Tax Payers we ask #CityOfEdmonton to stop wasting our $ and get #Lucy to sanctuary.

Confinement indoors can also be a significant factor
to foot problems for #Lucy (through extended exposure to unnatural substrates), circulatory issues and obesity. Cold temperatures
also exacerbate arthritis and may be contributing to Lucy's
undiagnosed respiratory condition.

Lucy in Edmonton Valley Zoo is the northernmost elephant in North America.
The cold climate in Edmonton is harmful to Lucy & is contributing to her zoo induced conditions.
Lucy is forced to stay indoors for prolonged periods of time due to low & freezing temperatures.

#Lucy's enclosure is tiny and barren.
It lacks anything resembling
an elephant's natural habitat. It is less than a half acre which is
not enough space to allow her adequate exercise. There are only
painted trees in her concrete enclosure, Lucy has never had a place to swim or to have a mud bath.

Info: In 2007, Lucy’s companion Samantha, after 18 years of bonding, was sent away on a long-term breeding loan and has never returned.
Lucy has remained alone ever since.

In 1989, in lieu of Lucy having a calf, Samantha, a 1 year old female African 🐘, captured in Zimbabwe, was brought in for Lucy to mother.
They are different species but small zoos at the time liked to have one of each species, even though their behaviour and temperaments are totally different.
