Bubbles Needs You—She’s All Alone

Bubbles, an African elephant who was imported from Zimbabwe and is now being exhibited by the notorious Bhagavan “Doc” Antle, is one of the loneliest elephants in the U.S. Exploited for “likes” on social media, she hasn’t had contact with another elephant in over 30 years.

Elephants’ social and physical needs simply can’t be met in confinement. In captivity, these animals often show signs of frustration and psychosis, along with experiencing physical ailments such as obesity, foot problems, and arthritis, which can cause intense suffering and premature death. In the wild, female elephants stick with their families for life and spend much of their time exploring vast habitats, socializing, and foraging for food.

Bubbles deserves a comfortable life at a sanctuary, where she would have the opportunity to roam acres of naturalistic habitat, play in a pond, forage for fresh vegetation, befriend other elephants, and otherwise enjoy a full, healthy, and enriching life. Please join us in urging Antle to send her to a sanctuary.
