Advocates Call for Closure of Natural Bridge Zoo After Four Years of USDA Violations
In Defense of Animals has called for the immediate closure and sanctuary retirement of abused animals at Virginia’s Natural Bridge Zoo in Rockbridge County, following a new raft of public safety and animal welfare violations for the fourth year running. On June 20, 2017, the USDA again found Natural Bridge Zoo in violation of proper animal care and welfare standards. The Agency’s June inspection cites cramped animal enclosures, inadequate veterinary care, deteriorating buildings, and Asha the elephant left unsafely unattended and in solitary confinement.
Asha’s enclosure was found to be inadequate by USDA to prevent her escape. She is forced to give rides in that compound in the sweltering summer heat under the threat of a sharp bullhook. Asha has long been denied the companionship of other elephants and is confined to spend endless days alone in a barn in the winter months.
“The appalling and archaic conditions at Natural Bridge Zoo should fill every American with shame that this roadside atrocity is allowed to keep Asha the African elephant alone from all others of her kind for years in deplorable conditions”, says In Defense of Animals Elephant Scientist, Dr. Toni Frohoff. “Forcing this majestic elephant to give rides is not only cruel for the elephant, it poses a serious and unnecessary health and safety risk to the public.”

Kenny Chesney & Friends, Starting w Eric Church LIVE IN NO SHOES NATION
“The thing about making Live in No Shoes Nation,” says 8-time Country Music Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney, “is beyond the songs, and the solos, and the raps, it’s really about friendship. That’s how I feel about all those people who’ve come out summer after summer, who’ve lived their lives through these songs, they’re my friends — and it’s how I feel about so many of the heroes and friends I’ve been able to make music with.”
“When I started listening to all the shows we’ve taped over the last 10 years, one thing that struck me is how many friends got up and shared the stage and their talent with me. People make so much of this about business, but to me, it’s about the people you get up and jam with, play songs and have fun. Like No Shoes Nation, the guests here are a massive part of it.”
