There is a glimmer of hope for a better life in the future of Nosey the elephant:
“The USDA has ordered Nosey out of the circus where she was performing in Texas and back to Florida for a veterinary check!
Thank you to the 163,000+ of you who signed this petition and sent letters to the USDA asking them to act on behalf of the long-suffering Nosey. Your voice has been heard!”
Thank you for helping and we will keep you updated on Nosey´s progress.
Do keep in mind to let your city officials know that you do not want circuses with animals performing in your city.
Thank you for spreading the word on animal awareness!

It has been 6 months and Nosey never received her vet check. Instead, she continued on to another performance, only not in Texas. Thirty-nine members of Congress signed a letter to the USDA demanding they do their job but it has gone unanswered, so Nosey continues to perform. Is there anything ALDF can do to stop this madness?
Thank you for sharing this information. It is crucial to keep everybody informed so that there will be an ongoing campaign to stop this inhumane treatment and let Nosey retire to an elephant sanctuary.
