Arundhati

October 2, 2007

The 80-year old elephant at Rajaji National Park, Uttarakhand, has been in pain after a multiple fracture and is due to be euthanised very soon. A sad end, but it’s the right thing to do, to put her out of pain. More here, here and here.

Update: Arundhati succumbed to her injuries yesterday.

  4. I come from a place where elephants are almost a part of our everyday life.be it a matter of god or demon, wood industry or family “pedigree” ,Kerala hold this sign up - as its mascot. There is this docu called “The 14th elephant- 4 monologues” which portrays the torturous life of these poor “wild” animals in the hands of civilised US.I recommend that all so-called elephant-lovers .
    Good thought.
    Cheers
