This topic is not related, but it is so shocking I hope this community can help. I know there are many animal lovers here. You guys can make topics trend on twitter, hope you can help trend the plight of this poor tortured animal. Many celebrities including Amitabh Bacchhan have already tweeted about it. The hashtag is #FreeSunder Please trend it whoever uses twitter.

I really hope mods donot close the topic. If seen by more people this horrible abuse can be stopped.



An undercover investigation conducted by PETA this week has resulted in shocking footage of a mahout (handler) violently beating Sunder, a 14-year-old elephant at the centre of a PETA petition in the High Court of Bombay, with a thick wooden pole. The video reveals a malnourished-looking Sunder, chained by two legs, writhing in pain and struggling to stand as the mahout strikes him repeatedly with the pole. Sunder visibly recoils in fear from the weapon-wielding mahout, who continues to threaten him with violence after he has stood.

Sunder was chained and abused for six years at the Jyotiba Temple in Kolhapur, and following orders by the Maharashtra Forest Department and Project Elephant, which operates under the central Ministry of Environment and Forests, to retire Sunder to a sanctuary, Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Vinay Kore, who had given the elephant as a "gift" to the temple, sent him to be chained in an old, dark poultry shed in Warananagar instead.





Please help by trending on twitter and sign the petition on:

Yeah, even I have not watched the video...I just dont have the guts too. But the poor guys life has been terrible, he has been constantly abused. Just looking at his photos you can see the fear and the sadness. How horrible can people be. I have posted everywhere I can and have asked many animal welfare organizations to also step in - have got a positive response from some who have already started working on it. I just thought atleast spreading the abuse video would help get more attention, trying to do at least the small bit I can. Just horrified by what this poor animal has to go through. How can humans be so heartless.
