Here’s some things you can do.
We need your help now. If you live in Dane County or know anyone who lives in Dane County, please ask them to contact the Public Works and Transportation Committee members below and let them know you support the proposed Elephant Ban. Be sure to include your city and state in the message. Because they receive so many emails, please write something such as “I support the elephant ban” in the subject line and also send us a copy of your email. For more information: http://www.allanimals.org/
No action has yet been taken, because of concerns about their contract with the Zor Shrine Circus until 2020 and that concern is addressed in the above link.
