Elephants are considered sacred animals and also find immense significance in the Hindu religion. However, they are often subject to cruelty and trafficking for elephant tusk trade. They are also domesticated for different purposes and, hence, become vulnerable to animal abuse. Most of them are captured from the wild and have to face cruelty and mistreatment at the hands of their owners.
