Free the Elephant? PETA asks Cage the Elephant to change its name for a week

PETA has asked Cage the Elephant to temporarily change its social media name to “Free the Elephant” for a week, ahead of the band’s performance at the NFL Munich Game. The animal-rights group says the gesture would support Ohka, a 56-year-old elephant it says spent most of her life performing in circuses. PETA has staged more than 30 demonstrations calling for Ohka to retire to a sanctuary. The band had not responded.
