I Got You Billy: Cher Continues Campaign To Free Billy The Elephant From "Pigs" At LA Zoo

Cher
Back in October 2013, Cher offered half-a-million dollars from her own pocket to get Billy the Elephant out of LA Zoo and into to a sanctuary in San Andreas.

Now, the charitable singer/actress has thought up an idea to create "new types of animal exhibits" using special effects, thus releasing animals from zoo cages.

Today, the 'I Hope You Find It' singer tweeted: "This idea won't be popular and I don't give a flying f*ck! I don't like zoos, and people who put animals in cages are animals! There's nothing cute or fun about torturing living beings in front of children. Zoos want to sell useless junk and Seaworld wants to torture for money.

Legendary live performer Cher is “on track to become one of the most successful treks of 2014”, Billboard reports.

Last night, the music publication stated that the first leg of the 'I Walk Alone' singer's North American 'Dressed To Kill Tour' grossed “a reported $54.9 million” according to Billboard Boxscore. It further explained that, “A total of 610,812 attendees went to the 49 shows – all of which were sell-outs.”

However, the data found on Billboard's weekly Boxscore chart shows that the tour grossed slightly more than what the Billboard article reported: with 609,519 attendees and an impressive 99.85% sell-out rate (with just Nashville's 31 March stop not selling out), the 49 dates grossed $55,112,056.
