While we worship elephant faced….
While on one side we worship the elephant faced….
On the other side do we torture or promote torture or exploit
elephants?
An elephant killed for its tusk and trunk
This elephant was tragically killed by speeding train within a forest reserve in the North East
Elephant electrocuted to death inside the Nagarahole Tiger reserve
Tourist watch an elephant calf while being tortured for training
This goad used is used on elephants’ sensitive parts to train, tame and control
Many a times elephants run amok because they are oppressed and abused
Several time elephants have killed their mahouts in retaliation
Smile and allow them smile!
This time on Ganapati pooja day….
