SET NOSEY FREE
Nosey’s large heart pumps with an African beat
Torn from Zimbabwe, her home….after culling deadlines to meet
Boxed and crated…..trembling with fear
Shipped to a foreign country….losing all she holds dear
Thirty solitary years has passed her by
Iridescent tears cloud a sorrowful look in her eye
The sweet scent of the African bush wafts through her mind
Echoes of memories past…of elephants….her kind
Twilight’s full of crickets and warm mellow African breeze
Where thick canopies adorn the sun kissed trees
Being gently caressed by a mother’s strong love
A night full of stars beaming down from above
Those gentle rumbles….Nosey yearns to hear
Not the brassy circus sounds…grating on her Africa shaped ears
Sadness and pain behind her wrinkled visage
Betrayed by humans and their quest to pillage
Nosey aches for kindness and a freedom to roam
INSTEAD
Confined to a trailer…..her prison….her home
Forced to carry humans and to endure crippling pain
A lifetime of servitude for man’s monetary gain
Her world empty of elephants…..her mind soaring away
Her heart pounding with fear as back and forth she sways
Legs scarred by decades of wearing heavy chains
Captive and lonely in a world gone insane
I dream of Nosey in a sanctuary with sunshine from above
Comforted by elephant rumbles….surrounded by love
PEOPLE…..please sign the petitions and let’s set Nosey free

New Jersey is Taking Steps to Ban Elephants in Traveling Acts – Nosey’s Law
Thank you, Jen, for your beautiful words on behalf of Nosey. We will, all of us together, see her free once more.
It’s time to release Nosey to an elephant sanctuary. A lifetime of servitude and slavery, she is rewarded with nothing but suffering and loneliness! Her owners have over 200 animal welfare violations, yet Nosey remains their prisoner. The time has come to end her suffering & do the right thing… set her free !
This is outrageous abused that it’s gone on this long and then USDA has allowed it to continue please help nosey the elephant be free of abusers in hostile situation she lives in and is forced to entertain when it’s a not a natural process for an elephant so she has to be tortured to do this it’s all about the money folks nothing about the safety and health of this poor elephant
No animal should be kept in captivity or used for human gains. Please release Nosey to a caring sanctuary
Please release nosey to a safe and caring sanctuary … she has endured too much pain suffering and isolation losing her freedom home and most of all,her family love and security no living being should endure what she has and she now deserves nothing less than to be released from this living hell and given the opportunity to feel the ground beneath her feet free of chains , to be able to walk freely,and be an elephant ….. simple really please listen ???????
Poor Nosey. So very sad for him and all elephants. He needs to go back to his birthplace and live out the rest of his life in the way all elephants have a right to live.
Wow. .. so sad. Your poem is incredibly moving – signed and shared. You srecsn amazing lady and I am so proud of you xxx
Stop the torture release Nosey , enough is enough! He needs to be free , sent him to sanctuary!!
Please bring relief to this poor animal
Please bring relief

Please please please release her.
She’s lost her childhood, her freedom, her family. What else can he take from her. Good God, free her and send her to a sanctuary!
I love you Nosey, we are trying so hard to help you. We are doing the best that we can. I am sorry that some people will not support our mission to save you. We will push through no matter what, because we are committed to you sweet girl. Until we see you free, we will not rest. SAVE NOSEY NOW.
Nosey needs our help in all 50 states. Just banning animal circuses in one state won’t do the trick. It has to be across the USA. Nosey, chained, beaten, starved, made to take people on rides, trained in a crush cage…………………my heart aches. Please sign the White House Petition and be sure to confirm your signature.
What does it take for you selfish people to let this poor animal retire??
Can’t you see the pain and suffering she’s going through?
You are very greedy and completely clueless as to the suffering she’s going through. Please release her IMMEDIATELY ?
