Lucy and Samantha

Lucy, an Asian elephant and Samantha, an African elephant live at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. Lucy suffers from arthritis and chronic foot infections. Samantha severed her trunk on a gate latch and lost 20 cm. or 8 inches of it. The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee has agreed to take them both. A letter writing campaign and petition are ongoing.^[1]

Additionally, Zoocheck Canada launched a Kids Save Lucy campaign in June 2009 to help Lucy. The KidsSaveLucy.com website encourages children to take action and help Lucy go to a better home.^[2]^[3]

Stray and Abandoned pets

V4A has conducted several feral cat rescues, however, cat overpopulation is a burgeoning problem.

Animal Cruelty prevention

Protests were held at the Didsbury, Alberta courthouse. Daisy Duke, the dog, was severely abused and died. Two perpetrators, a young offender and Daniel Haskett were charged in the incident. On May 10, 2007, the younger man was sentenced to house arrest, probation and community service. The sentencing hearing for Daniel Charles Haskett is scheduled for August 1. V4A want to bring back Bill C-373 (formerly Bill C-50).
