🌧️💔 This Monday begins with heartbreak... with unbearable grief...
A young bull elephant, in the prime of his life, was electrocuted by illegal fencing in Odisha. ⚡🐘
He didn’t have to die.
We must do better—for them, for our planet, for our shared future. 🌍🕊️

✨Ignorance is not always a choice—it’s often the result of disconnection. When we forget our sacred bond with nature, we lose sight of the treasures that sustain us. But awareness is a powerful force. It opens our eyes, ignites compassion, and inspires action. Let’s light the lamp of understanding 🐘

Our humanity is defined by how we treat those who cannot defend or speak for themselves. As we launch this week, can we please 🙏 take a moment to remember and connect with our intrinsic compassionate nature? It has been drowned by the the outer world, especially social media.

This APPALLING 💔 💔 💔 video sends shivers down my spine. These savages are GANGING UP on a helpless and shackled 🐘 tossing rocks on body while trying to FIND HIS GENITALS as he moves, so that they can toss rocks on his genitals. Dr. Panicker had told me that they do this in order to control the 🐘 😭😭😭
