فيديو وصور: فيل يبكي لحظة تحريره بعد 50 عامًا من الاعتقال !

نيودلهي: امضى فيل 50 عاما في الاسر في ولاية اوتاور براديش في الهند، وقد تسرب هذا النبأ إلى جمعية بريطانية تهتم برعاية الحيوان، فقامت بإرسال 10 أطباء بيطيريين و20 من حرس الغابات بالإضافة إلى عدد من رجال الشرطة، من أجل تحرير الفيل الذي دمعت عيناه حينما تم فك القيود من قدميه.
ويذكر أن قبيلة هندية هي من كانت تضع الفيل في الأسر طوال هذه السنوات.

The elephant was left bleeding from spiked shackles and living on hand-outs from passing tourists after he was captured by his 'owner'


Wildlife SOS vet Dr Yaduraj Khadpekar tries to free Raju from the chains which he was kept in for 50 years


Wildlife SOS founder Kartick Satyanarayan said: 'The chains around his legs had spikes which were cutting into his flesh - and each time he moved puss would ooze out of wounds. Pain and brutality were all he knew'


Once rescued, he was loaded into an open-top lorry, given additional sedation and escorted 350 miles to the charity's Elephant Conservation and Care Centre at Mathura

The daring rescue came exactly a year to the day since the charity was alerted to Raju's plight by the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department in India


The charity has now launched a campaign to raise £10,000 for Raju to help begin the start of his new life


Pooja Binepal, the charity's UK spokesman, described the rescue as 'incredibly emotional' for the team

Over the weekend, Raju received emergency medical attention to his wounds as well as a bath and food


The rescue took place under the cover of darkness, as fewer people would be around for the dangerous rescue and the animal could be protected from the heat of the sun


A 10-strong team of vets and wildlife experts from the charity were joined by 20 forestry department officers and six policemen to seize Raju from his suffering in the Uttar Pradesh area


Every day, the majestic animal was forced to hold out his trunk and beg for coins from passers-by - surviving only on plastic and paper for food
