Dear John,

Elephants are gentle, incredibly intelligent creatures who, if they must be in captivity, deserve to live in large enclosures where they can be comfortable and socialize as normally as possible. But for an elephant named Nosey, this is not an option -- and every day, she suffers more from the abuse and continued neglect of her owner.

According to government inspectors, Nosey's cage contains sharp edges and nails where she could easily injure herself. She suffers from a painful skin condition that her owner reportedly continues to ignore rather than treat.

She's often tethered in a way that prevents her from even lying down. During one inspection, Nosey's ankles were chained so tightly that she couldn't even stand normally, let alone move from side to side.

This is a disgusting abuse of a creature that should be treated with respect, dignity, and care. Nosey doesn't deserve this horrible treatment, and it's our responsibility to stand up for her.

Later this month, the USDA will have the chance to take away Nosey's owner's AWA license, which would prevent him from keeping or exhibiting her or any of his other exotic animals. This means that if we make our voices heard, Nosey could be set free. Urge the USDA to take immediate action to save Nosey!
