Elephants

Recently, the  Government of India declared elephant as a national heritage animal. This will help in stepping up the measures for their protection.  Kerala has a large number of elephants in captivity. There are also many instances of ill treatment of  pachyderms leading to violent reaction from them. This enactment will, hopefully ensure  humane handling of these animals.
