Fifty years of being shackled and abused. FIFTY years. Thats a decade longer that Ive been alive. Imagine the suffering of this animal. The pain that cannot be undone. Its sobering to even think of it. Yet look at the triumph of spirit so evident in this beautiful old guy. I have nothing but tears of gratitude for these people: When Raju stepped out of his truck and took his first step to freedom at one minute past midnight on July 4th, the other seven rescued elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant care Center awoke from their sleep to come and meet their new friend. After a drink of fresh cool water to welcome Raju in his new home he was given a buffet spread of mangoes, jackfruit, bananas and a special treat of biscuits before Wildlife SOS vet Dr Yaduraj Khadpekar began the painstaking process of removing his chains and spiked shackles.
