Subject: Tell Chick-fil-A to Pull Cruel Elephant Ad!

Dear Anne, Despite being informed about the cruelty inherent in using elephants and other wild animals in advertising, Chick-fil-A continues to run a commercial featuring an elephant. The elephant was reportedly provided by notorious exhibitor Have Trunk Will Travel (HTWT), a company that is currently under fire for abusing elephants. Earlier this year, Animal Defenders International released undercover video footage that shows trainers at HTWT as they use electric prods and bullhooks (metal-tipped devices that resemble a fireplace poker) to strike and jab elephants on their sensitive feet, legs, bellies, and mouths, causing the animals to scream in pain. In one particularly disturbing scene, a trainer is seen jabbing a sharp bullhook into the roof of a baby elephant's mouth to get her to raise her head. Please click here to help convince Chick-fil-A to stop running this offensive commercial and to agree never to feature elephants or other wild animals in future advertising. Please forward this message to friends, family members, and coworkers. Thank you for everything that you do to help animals. Sincerely, Julia Gallucci Animal Behavior Specialist People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Click to update your e-mail preferences or to unsubscribe. Please do not respond to this e-mail.
