Helen Worth joins campaign to save baby elephant

In her role as patron of Born Free, Coronation Street actress Helen Worth, who plays Gail McIntyre, has joined the Daily Mirror’s fight to free two-year-old elephant Paloh from Malaysia’s notorious Johor Zoo and get her rehomed. 

Helen said: “I was so concerned to hear about Paloh. It is deeply troubling that such a wonderful young elephant has already gone through so much trauma. We must all pull together and work to rehome her to a place where she can feel safe and secure and her lifetime needs can be fully addressed.”

Helen has already tackled ivory poaching in Africa, the plight of orphan elephants in Asia, the slum zoos of Europe, and protested at Government plans to licence not ban animals in travelling circuses. She added: “We sometimes relate more easily to the plight of individual animals which helps us understand the needs of the species as a whole.”
