Topics will be: Updates on Shankar the elephant situation in Delhi Zoo and Court Case

In 1998, a 26 month-old male African elephant was presented as a diplomatic gift by Zimbabwe to India. He was named ‘Shankar’ after India’s 9th President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma. Shankar, now over 26 years old, has lived his entire life in the Delhi zoo (National Zoological Park, NZP). 

Shankar is chained for 17 hours of the day and does not have adequate space to move around when he is let out. Much like humans, elephants are social beings and suffer neurological distress when put in solitary confinement.

Help free Shankar from decades of solitary confinement in the Delhi Zoo - SIGN PETITION >> https://www.change.org/p/freeshankardelhizoo-help-free-shankar-26-year-old-male-african-elephant-from-his-solitary-confinement-at-the-delhi-zoo-follow-our-campaign-page-for-updates-bit-ly-freeshankar
