It is imperative that the USDA denies renewal of Hugo Liebel's USDA license (license number 58-C-0288) for Nosey the elephant which is set to expire at the end of January 2015.
Each of the nearly 200 citations and 30 direct violations separately might not be so significant but for an individual to amass that many citations and violations proves that Mr. Liebel chooses not to accept the responsibilities inherent to holding a license. By continuing to disregard the law, Hugo Liebel is having a hugely negative impact on Nosey's health and well-being. He is causing Nosey to suffer physically and psychologically. The longer Nosey suffers, the greater the risk to the general public becomes!
You have a responsibility to ensure that you do not allow this to continue any longer.
I implore you, please do not renew Hugo Liebel's license!
Kind Regards

ps I believe G-d sees all -- the abuse of animals is not OK. Noah's ark has a clear message that our lives and animals lives are dependent on each other. How the USA can allow the abuse the abuse of elephants tortured into submission and exploited is worse than shameful.
Elephants brains are far larger than ours their memory their capacity to remember. They love and they cry...
