Help The Abused Elephant at The Bellanwila Temple in Sri Lanka

  • by: Voice for the Voiceless
  • recipient: President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and Minister of Tourism John Amaratunga

Myan Kumaraya is an elephant that lives at the Bellanwila Buddhist Temple in the Colombo District of Sri Lanka.

He lives his life chained tightly to a tree, as you can see in the picture above. In January of 2019, a video surfaced of him being bathed in dirty water and beaten by his mahout or handler. Just recently two more videos surfaced again of him being bathed in dirty water and beaten. This is absolutely criminal.




Sign the petition to ask that the government of Sri Lanka remove Myan Kumaraya from the Bellanwila Temple and place him in an environment free from abuse.
