Help Shut Down Notorious Canadian Zoo!
Please send one e-mail to the list at the bottom of this page
 The controversial GuZoo Animal Farm in
Alberta, Canada, has long been a source of great concern because of terrible
conditions, including small filthy cages and failure to provide even basic care,
for animals such as primates, big cats, small mammals, birds and reptiles. Now
we have the chance to shut down this nightmare zoo and ensure that all the
animals are released into protective care.
The Alberta government has taken action to
close the roadside zoo by revoking the facility’s license after extensive
pressure from Zoocheck Canada and residents of Alberta. While this is a good
first step, a number of animals not covered under the zoo permit may be left at
this decrepit facility.
Alberta Legislative Members are gauging
public interest in the GuZoo Animal Farm by the amount of correspondence they
receive on the issue. So please write to the legislative
members, urging them to use the full authority of the government and the law to
get all the animals out of GuZoo Animal Farm, not just those listed on
the controlled species listing in the Alberta Wildlife Act. There is a sample letter and e-mail string at the bottom of this page.
You do not have to be a Canadian citizen to
help the animals at GuZoo. By sending a message, you show the Alberta
Legislative Members that the world is watching its handling of this horrendous
situation.
Send an e-mail to Alberta
Legislative Members, thanking them for taking action and urging them to assure
that all the animals are released from the Guzoo Animal Farm.

Sample Letter:
To all Members of the Alberta Legislative
Assembly:
I have recently learned about the horrendous
conditions for animals at the GuZoo Animal Farm in Three Hills, Alberta, and that
the Alberta government has decided not to renew the zoo’s permit. Thank you for
taking this important action to protect some of the animals at the facility.
However, I am concerned that this limited action only requires the removal of
the animals included on the Alberta Wildlife Act Controlled Species Listing and
therefore many animals may be left behind to endure the terrible conditions at
this substandard facility.
Reports by Zoocheck Canada show that the
facility has not been in compliance with the Standards for Zoos in Alberta
since their enactment and has a long history of failing to provide even basic
care for the animals including fresh water, nutritious food and adequate
shelter, space and care.
I respectfully
request that you use the full authority of the government and its animal
cruelty legislation to move all the animals from the Guzoo Animal Farm to safe
locations, including the non-controlled species, and bring animal cruelty
charges against its owner.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent
issue.
Sincerely,
