Saigon is Australia's last circus elephant. At 55 years of age, she is now too old to perform. Yet she is still trucked from town to town with Perry Bros Circus, spending months on end in a barren enclosure out the back of a truck, surrounded by an electric fence. More »

Animals Australia is calling upon Perry Bros to retire Saigon from circus life and to a facility where her behavioural needs can be met, and where she can enjoy quality of life for the first time in her life, for the rest of her life. Please support our campaign to secure Saigon's release. « Less

This petition plays a vital role — but it's only one part of the campaign. Here are some other important ways your help is needed:

• Send this important campaign to friends.
• The life Saigon is forced to endure on the road in Victoria would be illegal in neighbouring states. Click here to join the campaign to demand legal protection for solitary elephants held captive in Victorian circuses.
• No circus can ever provide a suitable environment for any wild animal. You can help end this cruelty by only visiting circuses that are free from exotic animals - and please encourage your friends and family to do the same.
• Contact your local council and ask them to refuse to allow exotic animal circuses to perform on council land.
• Animals Australia's vital campaigns to protect animals are funded entirely by donations. Please donate today and help put to end animal abuse.
