ELEPHANT IN MISERY - Please help. One of the big cash "cows" of Thiruvambady Temple, Ramabhadran is suffering due to neglect and horrific, unscientific experimental treatment. He had a partially paralysed trunk which now due to the "care" is fully paralysed and is unable to even swat flies.
The unattended wounds on his feet have festered, he has foot rot and several wounds on his body! In the last two years alone, 35 elephants have died due to over exploitation in the name of religious performance and manual labour! This poor elephant should no longer suffer at this Hindu temple in Kerala, India.
This 54 old elephant must be send immediately to a sanctuary where his wounds can be treated properly!
