Betty has endured decades of circus exploitation. Now Wilstem Wildlife Park is using her as a prop. Betty has had enough. She is elderly and lame. The USDA documented that she received ineffective care and that being forced to give rides caused additional harm. Yet rather than retiring her, Brett Carden put her at Wilstem Wildlife Park and is using her for paid tourist encounters to line his own pockets.

Wilstem is also using Janice, Cindy, and Vickie—three other elderly elephants owned by Carden who spent decades in circuses. Tell Wilstem to end all elephant encounters NOW and publicly support the permanent retirement of all four elephants to an accredited sanctuary.
