“Returning Elephant” Part of the sales of the show, etc. for disaster relief donation, November 8, 17:59
When a power outage occurred at Typhoon No. 15, sales of the show, etc. were held at “Ichihara Zou no Kuni” in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, which was able to secure drinking water for elephants raised thanks to the generators that received support. A so-called “give back” activity is underway, in which a portion of the donation is donated as disaster relief.
In “Ichihara Elephant Country”, which breeds about 80 kinds of animals including Asian elephants, power failure continued for 8 days at Typhoon No. 15 in September, and one generator that pumped up well water was likely to break down. The effect of running out of drinking water for elephants came out.
At this time, asking for assistance through SNS, 13 generators were delivered and water was given to animals.
In Chiba Prefecture, damages caused by typhoons and heavy rains continued, and the facility decided to donate part of the fee, such as admission fees and sales of elephant shows, as a “give back” for the help they received.
On the 8th, elephants were using the brush with their nose to write “Gambare Gambaru” and received the stuffed animal well.
A 30-year-old father who visited with his family from Mobara-shi said, “I thought I would help this facility, but I got the energy from animals.”
Sayuri Sakamoto, director of Ichihara Elephant Country, said, “I want to give back a little because I have helped many people. I want to do my best to make Chiba Prefecture healthy.”
