PETA has requested that Alice in Chains temporarily adopt the name "Betty in Chains" on social media for one month to spotlight an elderly elephant named Betty. Betty is over 56 years old, was taken from Thailand as a baby, and has been used in circuses for more than five decades. PETA states that Betty is being forced to perform in roughly 300 circus shows each year and that an expert warns she faces a fatal collapse if not immediately retired to a reputable sanctuary. PETA argues the name change could amplify Betty's story to millions and help secure her release.
