BREAKING GOOD NEWS!! 🚨 The Hon. Kerala High Court has temporarily banned the transfer of captive elephants between states, citing the “pathetic” treatment of Kerala’s so-called “festival elephants “. This is long overdue. Let’s hope this becomes a permanent ban. 🙏 You’ll recall, the multiple award-winning film Gods in Shackles, produced and directed by our Founder, Sangita Iyer 🐘 (B.Sc. M.A.)🐘, and her book by the same name also made global headlines, including on Good Morning America. We would like to believe that our ongoing awareness in addition to our litigations must have played a role. 🙌 Read & share: https://lnkd.in/e3ueAaCF . . . #vfae #voiceforthevoiceless #elephantoftheweek #elephantfamily #elephants #elephant #elephantlove #savetheplanet #savetheelephants #odisha #odishanews #kerala #keralagram
