Breaking News: In the wake of horrifying elephant-related tragedies in India, life-sized robotic elephants are being launched at a temple in India as we speak and UnchainedTV is bringing you the news as it happens.
In just 2 months, captive elephant-related incidents have killed 6 people and left more than 50 people injured in India! One temple ceremony turned into a nightmare when two elephants, spooked by fireworks, deprivation, exhaustion and relentless abuse, attacked each other, sparking chaos in the huge crowd. Another captive elephant - at a different festival - gored two people, one of whom later died. In a desperate bid for freedom, that elephant ran for more than 8 miles before being recaptured, highlighting the immense suffering and safety risks posed by captive elephants. Now, realistic, robotic elephants offer the solution! All of India’s abused temple elephants can and should be sent to sanctuary to live out their lives in peace while lifelike robots take their place preserving cultural tradition without cruelty.
UnchainedTV gets the very latest from the woman leading the robotic elephant movement: Sangita Iyer, Founding Executive Director of Voices for Asian Elephants and award-winning filmmaker of the UN-nominated documentary Gods in Shackles. Visit:
