Looks heavenly?
A known trafficker is operating in this area. @assamforest under you have been relentlessly sending baby elephants out of Assam. Most recently you sold 5 elephants: Durga, Shiva, Hiralal, Rupsing and Bijuli. Have you got any freaking shame?

Durga, Bijuli, Shiva, Hiralal & Rupsing must have been the same way with their moms, dreaming away, life full of happiness and safety, until they were snatched from the wild, made "captive" & sold to Tamil Nadu (🇮🇳)Temples. Shame on Madras HC!!!

Only a shameless man will have the audacity to call an elephant herd heavenly after selling off 5 baby elephants illegally to TN from Assam just few weeks earlier. Can you see their pain? Or crores of Rupees earned by your fav IFS and traders matter more?

After selling off Durga, Shiva, Hiralal, Rupsing and Bijuli shamelessly, @himantabiswa is talking about how an elephant herd looks heavenly. Life was heavenly for these baby elephants too which you c sold for crores of rupees! Have you got any shame?

A mother and her calf were separated during a rescue. Kurseong Forest Division staff worked for 7 hours to reunite them. ❤️🐘 The mother's reaction says everything.
When will Durga, Hiralal, Shiva, Bijuli & Rupsing be reunited with their elephant families?
#TamilNadu & #Assam Forest Departments, please make compassion a priority.
Investigate their histories and ensure safe, scientifically guided rehabilitation and reunification with their herd and mother elephants.
Elephants are Sentient Emotional Intelligent Beings, Not Objects of entertainment for humans.
Reunite them immediately with their mothers. Stop Captivity of Indian Elephants.

They are also baby elephants.
Speak for them?
They are getting tortured in diff temples across TN as we write.
They also miss their moms and habitat.
DO WE CARE?
Assam is trading their elephants for money and rich people and traders are earning crores!

Beautiful indeed.But till when will we selectively highlight these scarce happy stories of reunions & not talk about the brutality done to 🐘? Wild 🐘are being caught & sold openly. Recently 5 baby 🐘 were snatched from their moms in Assam to be sent to lifelong captivity to TN💔

Who will talk about them? These elephants are also babies who deserved safety and happiness. But what happened? Rich people decided they wanted elephants to earn money, traders benefitted, forest department complied. Madras HC CJ sold his conscience!

Stop domesticating elephants.
Let the live wild and free. Humans make them work, beat them, abuse them and starve them.
The Forest department has registered a case against the owner and mahout of an elephant, Cheriyaparambath Gopalan, for allegedly failing to provide the animal with adequate food and care.

Absolutely I agree!!
During @mkstalin time in TN, elephants are seldom brought. The practice has started again after coming of @actorvijay 💔
And the post I have quoted features elephants from Indian state of Karnataka. Unfortunately cruelty to 🐘 is not limited to one state..
People For Cattle In India (PFCI) retweeted
Absolutely heartbreaking and sickening! These majestic, innocent elephants belong free in the forests, not chained and tortured with bullhooks just to entertain a bunch of vain, heartless hypocrites for mindless festivities!
Where is the accountability, @mkstalin? The @tnforestdept is shamelessly complicit in this brutal animal abuse! And @actorvijay, you preach morality on screen—why absolute silence when helpless animals are being tortured to death right in your state? This barbaric cruelty is a national shame and must face immediate global outrage and bans! No mercy for animal abusers!

All these captive elephants deserved a happy life in the forests with their herds. But here they are, bound in chains, abused by bullhooks to make them "behave", to tame them for these festivities they can't make sense of. For what? To please vain people? Pathetic.

"we torture elephants for our devotion, then punish them for reacting to our cruelty"
💔💔💔
Devotees who think this is a faith issue must understand that making these 🐘 captive & selling them is a lucrative business which gives both the traders & temples crores of money!
WE TORTURE ELEPHANTS FOR OUR DEVOTION, THEN PUNISH THEM FOR REACTING TO OUR CRUELTY. WHEN WILL WE LEARN?
A temple elephant, forced to endure a procession filled with crowds, deafening noise, and immense stress, ran away. But before blaming the elephant, let us question the humans who put it in that situation.
We force these magnificent, intelligent beings to stand for hours amidst chaos, carry heavy loads, and participate in unnatural activities for our rituals and celebrations. We expect them to endure everything silently, without fear, distress, or resistance. And when their suffering finally manifests as a reaction, we poke them with bullhooks, punish them, and blame them for being dangerous.
How can we inflict suffering on a living being and then punish it for expressing that suffering?
An elephant running away is not necessarily an act of aggression. It may be an attempt to escape an overwhelming situation. Instead of asking why the elephant reacted, we must ask why we forced it to endure such distress in the first place.
If elephants are considered representatives of the divine, shouldn't our devotion inspire compassion, respect, and protection? How can we claim to honour a sacred being while denying it freedom, dignity, and the right to live without fear?
Devotion should never be an excuse for cruelty. Tradition should never be a justification for suffering.
Elephants are not slaves, ceremonial objects, or instruments of religious celebration. They are sentient beings with their own needs, emotions, and natural behaviours.
It is time we stopped forcing elephants to suffer in the name of devotion. Let our faith be reflected not in how we use these magnificent beings, but in how compassionately we treat them.
If we truly respect the divine, let us stop making its representatives suffer. Elephants deserve freedom, not chains; compassion, not bullhooks; and dignity, not captivity.

An elephant is not a machine for human entertainment, a tourist ride, or a ceremonial showpiece.
This video raises disturbing questions about the way these gentle giants are captured, handled, restrained, and exploited.
Tradition is never an excuse for cruelty. Elephants deserve compassion, proper care, dignity, and freedom from abuse.
How long will we turn a blind eye? Authorities must investigate cruelty wherever it occurs and enforce animal-protection laws.
Their silence is not consent. Be their voice.

I couldn't agree more. Wild animals belong in the wild, not dressed up for processions. Together we can push for change. 🐘 #AnimalWelfare
Proof enough that Elephants don’t belong in Captivity, pls Free them all before it’s too late -

Born free to be in chains & stress for life….
These type of incidents keep repeating. And our foolishness to tame the wild also keeps repeating.

every religion preaches compassion not cruelty. what exactly is tradition? they evolve with progressing times.do we wear traditional dhoti today? we pour water on a burn not tie it up..IN elephant tradition they r BORN FREE.Period @PFCII this is abuse no tradition
LOOK AT HOW THIS ELEPHANT IS CHAINED IN SHIVAMOGGA, KARNATAKA.
His legs restrained, his movement restricted, his body painted and decorated for a religious procession.
Even criminals arent chained like this, but an innocent animal?
THIS IS THE REALITY OF TEMPLE ELEPHANTS BEHIND THE GLORY OF OUR FESTIVALS.
We celebrate tradition while these sentient beings pay the price with their freedom and dignity.
And now, 5 elephants from Assam are facing a future in Tamil Nadu. Is this the life that awaits them too? Chains, confinement, forced participation in religious ceremonies and a lifetime of being controlled for human beliefs?
We cannot allow their future to become another story of captivity and suffering.
RELIGION IS NO EXCUSE FOR CRUELTY. TRADITION DOES NOT JUSTIFY CHAINS.
We must speak up NOW. Save these five elephants from a future of captivity. They deserve to live as elephants, not as prisoners of human tradition.
