A 50-year-old elephant is finally free after being forced to beg for four decades on the streets of India and after having walked over thousands of miles with his hind legs bound by spiked chains.
The elephant begged walking in shackles across the Indian capital city of Delhi and in the states of Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and finally in Rajasthan, where the state’s forest department seized the animal from his owner on the grounds of cruelty and neglect.
