Program accomplishments

  • Weeping Elephant Project's goal is to de-normalize elephant captivity in the United States and push for meaningful change within the facilities that still hold them. We work to shift public perception so that keeping elephants in zoos and circuses is no longer seen as acceptable, drive enforceable welfare standards, and put an end to captive breeding to break the cycle.We investigate facility practices, amplify expert voices through our podcast, and collaborate with organizations, educators, and advocates to hold elephant facilities accountable. Through public education, social media, investigative reporting, and direct engagement with institutions, we drive the changes captive elephants can't demand for themselves.
