Maggie the elephant at the Ancorage, Alaska zoo
Maggie
is being deprived of what it means to be a real elephant
Give Maggie the opportunity to live the rest of her life in the company of other elephants; where she has acres of varied terrain to explore, in a year round warm climate. Her future in the next 40 years hang in the balance.

Is the Alaska Zoo to be the last zoo in No. America to exhibit a lone female African elephant?

"Friends of Maggie is an organization dedicated to seeing that Maggie is moved to one of four premiere institutions where she can live in a warm climate with other female elephants."

Our heartfelt congratulations to Alaska Zoo

A Life Apart or A Life Together?
A captive elephant all alone lacks the very core of its existence, the presence of its own kind. Deprived of such companionship and support, a single elephant lives in a setting best described as "solitary confinement."
