Gajah menangis selepas 50 tahun diikat

An elephant who was cruelly kept in spiked shackles for 50 years has been released.Held in chains, beaten, abused and living on handouts from passing tourists, Raju was a pitiful sight on the streets of India.Day after day he was forced to hold out his trunk, begging for a few coins and was often left so hungry he'd eat plastic and paper to fill his empty stomach.But last week a North London-based charity Wildlife SOS stepped in to save Raju.During the daring midnight rescue, which saw the beast finally freed on 4 July, tears were seen rolling down his noble face, as if he was weeping with gratitude.Spokesman Pooja Binepal said: “Raju has spent the past 50 years living a pitiful existence in chains 24 hours a day, an act of intolerable cruelty. The team were astounded to see tears roll down his face during the rescue. It was so incredibly emotional for all of us. We knew in our hearts he realised he was being freed.“Elephants are not only majestic, but they are highly intelligent animals, who have been proven to have feelings of grief, so we can only imagine what torture half a century has been like for him.“Until we stepped in he'd never known what it is like to walk free of his shackles – it's a truly pitiful case.“But today he knows what freedom is and he will learn what kindness feels like and what it's like to not suffer any more.”

Last week a 10-strong team of vets and wildlife experts from the charity were joined by 20 Forestry Department officers and six policemen to seize Raju in the Uttar Pradesh area of India.The mission took place under the cover of darkness, as fewer people would be around for the dangerous rescue, and travelling at night also protected him from the searing heat of the sun.It was exactly a year since the charity was alerted to Raju's plight by the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department in India.A confiscation process had gone through the courts as Raju's owner did not have any legal documents for his possession.Pooja explained: “Very little is known about his early years but we believe he was poached from the his mother as a young calf.“The poachers either slaughter the mother, or they drive the herd into traps that are small enough only for the babies to fall into. The mother cries for her baby for days after he's been stolen – it is a sickening trade.“The calves are then tied and beaten until they submit to their owners – their spirits are effectively broken.“We discovered Raju's case was particularly tragic. He'd been poached as a calf and then he has been sold on and sold on. Incredibly we believe he has had up to 27 owners – he's been treated as a commodity every two years of his life. ?.

apa semua manusia x ambil tindakkan ka, org2 kg, ketua kg, polis, hospital, jabatan2, ini semua harapkan org luar,
agak2 org luar jugak kena buatkan jamban yg sempurna di negara itu yg ramai berak merata2 serupa haiwan.
