The elephant 'Bhanu' at the Kataragama Devalaya was taken into the custody by the Wildlife Department this morning on charges that it was being kept there without a valid license, sources said.

Reports said the animal had been donated to the Devalaya by former Basnayake Nilame Shashindra Rajapaksa. (N.K. Nandasena)

License or not these animals need to be in their natural habitat. Making them parade or work is a form of animal cruelty. via DM Android App
