A begging elephant, weighing nearly 5,000 kilograms (approx. 11,023 pounds) and subsisting on an unhealthy diet of burgers and sweets, was rescued in 2013. She was recently treated to an altogether healthier feast to mark her seventh year of emancipation.
The animal welfare charity Wildlife SOS told The Epoch Times in a statement that caretakers at the center in Mathura City, India, laid out a colorful spread of watermelons and pumpkins for 25-year-old Laxmi the elephant, whose elephantine appetite for food is matched only by her newly voracious appetite for life.
