FAO: Director of Giza zoo

Dear Madam,
After 60 long years of service and captivity, it is time for our dear elephant friends to be able to enjoy their old age in comfort.
We need to ask that the Asian and African pensioners will be allowed to live out the rest of their days unchained and with a night enclosure for the old lady of Asia and both to have sand put down on the ground so that they are no longer constantly walking on concrete 24/7, they should also be allowed to forage and with an increase in their dietry amounts with more nutrients introduced.
The long suffering elephants of Giza deserve comfort in their lives. They have served the zoo and the visitors all their lives, sometimes suffering extremes. Loneliness, isolation and boredom in an area that is a mere fraction of what they wouldve had in their natural habitat.
They have been chained for the major part of their lives, a chain that is no more than a meter long. These elephant have the right to live out the rest of their lives chain free and left to roam, albeit in their tiny enclosures.
The girls have had long hard lives, its time they were shown some care and respect.

Yours faithfully

 Video here under, uploaded on youtube by dear Hatem Moushir to document how the Asian elephant was happy for very few days in Nov. 2011, after presentations given by Hilda Tresz, mandate of Jane Goodall Institute gave presentations in my attendance to zoo staff in Giza, Alex Zoo and Cairo Opera house, about enrichment, substrates, etc.... the zoo staff was convinced, this was applied one week after Hilda left, but, then soon, all was removed, sand was removed, and both elephants Asian and African were back to suffer, chained, walking on concrete... etc...

مصر- طلب إعفاء الفيل الأفريقي و الأسيوي (البالغين 60 سنة من العمر)  من الخدمة في حديقة حيوان الجيزة لبلوغهم سن المعاش.

طالب دعاة حقوق الحيوان في العالم  بإعفاء الفيل الأفريقي و الأسيوي من الخدمة في حديقة حيوان الجيزة لبلوغهم سن المعاش.  طالب الناشطين بإعطائهم الحق في الراحة بدون قيد السلاسل (الأقل من نصف متر) كما طالبوا  بعمل مبيت للفيل الأسيوي حيث يعرض و كذلك عمل ركائز رملية علي الأرضيات الأسمنتية التي طالما اجبر الفيلة علي الوقوف و المشي عليها  علي مدار 24 ساعة في اليوم طوال حياتهم في الأسر(الأرضيات الأسمنتية ضارة جدا بصحة الأفيال و تسبب مضاعفات جسيمة صحية علي الحيوان)  إضافة إلي منحهم حرية جمع العلق في المبيت و زيادة مكونات الأغذية في طعامهم.   

لقد عانت كثيرا الفيلة أثناء فترة الخدمة في حديقة حيوان الجيزة و الآن مع بلوغ سن الستين يستحقون بعض الراحة في أخر أيامهم.  لقد خدموا الحديقة و الزوار لسنوات عديدة و تعرضوا لمعاناة قاسية،  الوحدة و العزل و الملل و التكبيل بسلاسل حديدية أقل من متر.... هؤلاء الفتياتستحقون أن يمضوا أيامهم المتبقية بدون تكبيل، و حرية الحركة حني في هذا المبيت الضيق. هؤلاء  الفتيات عانوا فترة حياتهم، حان الوقت لنوفيهم حقهم ببعض العناية و الاحترام.
