<P>When the pandemic shut down Thailand's tourism, <STRONG>3500
captive elephants were shackled in chains and left to
starve.</STRONG> Their keepers no longer able to afford to feed
them.</P>
<P>But our friends at Save Elephant Foundation stepped in with an
idea to save them -- <STRONG>help their owners transition from cruel
circus camps to ethical elephant sanctuaries</STRONG>, supported by
people around the world who want to foster an elephant.</P>
<P>It's working! At one business known for its circus show,
<STRONG>53 elephants now roam free</STRONG>, no longer forced to
give rides and perform all day. But taking care of an elephant is
<EM>expensive</EM> -- just imagine how much they eat every day! Plus
vet care, security, and more. <STRONG>The foundation desperately
needs funds to keep the project going.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Together, we can help give these elephants their
freedom.</STRONG> Can you chip in to save these elephants and
protect wildlife worldwide?</P>

<P>There are more captive, working Asian elephants in Thailand than
anywhere else on the planet. For decades, they've been ridden and
forced to perform for tourists, their legs cruelly chained to poles
and trees to keep them imprisoned.</P>
<P><STRONG>The misery these social animals are enduring is hard to
imagine.</STRONG> What’s more, the tethering makes them vulnerable.
Several elephants died when a storm caused trees to fall on
them.</P>
<P>But from this crisis came an opportunity. <STRONG>Save Elephant
Foundation is going from one cruel elephant camp to the next,
getting the owners to commit to becoming ethical elephant
sanctuaries</STRONG> in return for financial assistance from people
across the globe willing to foster an elephant. The owners must
adhere to strict rules to improve elephant welfare standards.</P>
<P><STRONG>Already they’re seeing new elephant babies born, free of
chains and abuse. The foundation wants to continue to expand, but
can’t do it until they raise more funds. </STRONG></P>
<P>Asian elephants are endangered -- <STRONG>we can't afford to lose
hundreds or even thousands to cruel captivity.</STRONG> We can save
them, but only if we act now. Will you chip in today?</P>
