April of 2020
marked a year of freedom for Daisy, a fifty-year-old elephant
whose previous life of captivity and slavery left her
physically scarred, partially blind, and mentally anguished.
She was one of the last captive elephants left in Delhi, the
capital territory of India, who were all rescued in 2019 and
sent to sanctuaries to safely pass the rest of their lives.
But in the rest of the country, more than 2,500 elephants
still languish in captivity. Sign the petition asking the Indian
government to grant these elephants the same freedom that
Daisy mercifully received. End the cruel tradition of captive
elephants in India!
Elephants like Daisy are
"trained" by a method called "the crush," during which they
are beaten into submission with a sharp hook again and again.
Thankfully, Daisy was rescued after a ruling in 2016 found
Delhi an unsuitable place for elephants to be kept captive.
But no place exists where it would be suitable to keep these
animals prisoner, forced to perform grueling tasks for human
gain and isolated from their own kind. India must finally take
action, passing legislation to protect every last captive
elephant within its borders.
Help us celebrate Daisy's freedom
anniversary by obtaining freedom for more like her. Sign the
petition and demand that India's government ban the captivity
of elephants today!
Thank you,
