Perpetuating wild animal abuse
1/4
An alarming scene of extortion unfolds as elephants are exploited for profit in various parts of the capital. The mahout withholds the elephant's movement until payment is made, compelling people to pay under duress.
Despite renewed discussions on wild animal rights following the tragic train accident that claimed an elephant's life in Uttara, the rampant extortion of these majestic creatures remains unabated. These pictures capture a distressing incident from the Jurain area of the capital on Sunday (May 28).
