At least 57 éléphants are being tortured and abused daily in the name of tradition and tourism. It must stop. They are suffering immense pain and suffering as they are beaten daily with iron rods and forced to work to entertain tourists! They are chained front and back and cannot move from that spot, not even to get to their drink tub, if they were Lucky enough to have any water in it! They are taken to a secret training camp in Kerala and Karnataka, India where they are forced into submission using brutal methods. Some of the éléphants have endured this treatment daily for 20 years! Even baby éléphants. The above link gives the whole heart wrenching story and pictures, which I know upset me

They need our help, so please sign this petition to either gain their freedom to an elephant sanctuary or at the very least so that new laws are passed to protect elephants held in private hands

Please sign and SPREAD the word

Thank you

Val

Honorable Respected Sir, Prime Ministerof India and Chief Warden we the petitioners ask that you help us in our fight to secure freedom and a better life for these abused and beaten elephants.  20 years of being tied to the same spot and beaten with bull hooks and iron pipes is cruelty at its worst.  No animal deserves this treatment and we therefore implore you to intervene and save these elephants from further abuse and hidious cruelty in the name of tradition and tourism.
