An elephant that was once force-fed alcohol by her abusive owners to keep her “under control” has been rescued by an international animal charity.
Adorned with heavy ornamental gear, the 40-year-old Indian elephant, Emma, was forced to walk over 300 miles in poor health. The elephant was used by her owner for lucrative ventures ranging from begging, to religious processions, to wedding ceremonies, and to giving rides to tourists, Wildlife SOS India said in a statement.
