Concerned Citizens for Jenny stage rally July 27 at Dallas Zoo to fight to save elephant
Group is lobbying to send aging elephant to sanctuary in Tennessee rather than a tourist attraction in Mexico.
Concerned Citizens for Jenny, a Dallas/Fort Worth grassroots citizens group, is organizing a peaceful rally to encourage the Dallas Zoo and city council members to relocate Jenny, the lone elephant at the Dallas Zoo, to an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee.
The Zoo's current plan is a controversial one that will send Jenny to Africam "Drive Thru" tourist attraction in Mexico.
The rally will be held Sunday July 27, from 1–2 p.m. at the freeway entrance to the Dallas Zoo on the lawn next to the giraffe statue, 650 R.L. Thornton Freeway.
