You might have heard about Raju, a fifty-years old elephant who lived his whole life in Allahabad as a “begging elephant,” which means he was beaten, starved, and kept in spiked chains. When Wildlife SOS found out, they staged a nighttime rescue of the elephant.
Here’s footage of Raju enjoying the company of his new family.
But it turns out his awful past is not fully behind him. The person who denied him even the most basic comforts has asked the court to get him back.
