A new complaint for Jumbo

27th June 2019. At 5:39 pm, Jumbo puts his first foot outside of the day. A very hot sun has been burning in the atmosphere, and he has been locked up all this time in a tin truck with his “bathtub” as the trainer calls it. At this moment, the interior of the car from which we observe him reaches 44°C… We dare not imagine the temperature of the furnace from which he exists …

Outside, the desert ...

Will he be able to cool off? Alas, no. No shade, no mud, no water on the horizon. Oh yes, a pool cover is sometimes stretched out, as we were able to observe a few days later, on July 8^th, but it is not filled with water! It’s just a fake gesture of care… And the poor are forced to continue to endure the heat without any area to take refuge. These scenes, bleak and outdated, represent Jumbo’s daily life. Whatever the weather and the day, the Circassians who hold him deny him his most basic needs and make him endure a living hell !

We (re) file a complaint!

While the violence of the Circassians compromised the seizure of Jumbo last February, we remain determined to release him! We continue to diligently monitor and gather the evidence for the charges, our case continues to grow. Based on our last observations, we have just filed a new complaint against the circus where he is being held. There is an urgent need to help Jumbo! And our concern for him is only increasing as we approach the next preannounced heat wave, which will probably not be the last…
