Standing Up for Miyako: Here’s What We’re Doing and How You Can Help
We recently sent a letter to the Japan Association for Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA) about the welfare of Miyako, the solitary captive elephant at Utsunomiya Zoo. In this letter, we raised serious concerns about Miyako’s living conditions and health, based on new expert input, and offered ways we can help. JAZA has the power to push for immediate improvements for Miyako’s well-being. You can read the full letter below.
