"Maggie", Alaska Zoo's elephant - loves her game of catch, but needs more exercise. However, her infamous treadmill isn't ready yet.

Maggie needs to walk more but her treadmill is still being worked on. It should be ready in another couple weeks.

Last September, workers at the Alaska Zoo installed what is believed to be the world's first elephant treadmill. When it's ready, the 16-thousand-pound treadmill will keep Maggie fit and healthy. Zookeepers plan to get her walking on it at least two hours a day - that is if she'll get on it. Zookeepers say it may take Maggie some time to
get the hang of it.

Please spread the word that Maggie is still living in isolation and needs our help. Please keep Maggie's suffering in front of the public until she is relocated to a suitable location and environment.
