New Delhi [India], January 23 (ANI): Strong voices against animal cruelty have once again risen in the country after a viral video showed a blazing tire being hurled at a 50-year-old elephant which later caused its death.
Social platforms went on with messages of condemnation and demanded the arrest of those behind this intended act of crime. Clear linkages of animal and human abuse have been established through innumerable researchers. With the help of law and order, we need to protect our weakest section, which is the animals. However, our law is currently failing to do that, animal rights activist Gauri Maulekhi stated.
