Elephants to give rides in Minnesota: act now!

7/16/25

Thank you for recently standing with us for elephants Krissy, Jeanie, and Paige. We are thrilled that they were not used to do stupid tricks at the Colorado Renaissance Festival this year!

Sadly, the Swain family, which owns the elephants, continues to exploit them for profit. They will soon be loaded onto a truck and forced to give rides at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival until the end of September.

We must keep up our efforts to educate Renaissance festivals and other venues about the dangers of elephant rides for both the public and the animals. Vile and abusive elephant rides MUST end.

Please sign and share for precious Krissy, Jeanie, and Paige. Let the Minnesota Renaissance Festival know that elephant rides are animal cruelty!

In Minnesota, the elephants will be exposed to constant loud noise and the chaos of crowds. They will be forced to give rides over & over until the end of September - this is no life for an elephant!

We will continue to fight for Paige, Jeanie, and Krissy until they are not exploited in Minnesota...or anywhere. Trunks and Humps owner Mike Swain MUST retire the elephants!
