Delhi: While PETA founder Ingrid Network plans to deliver a letter on behalf of Tourists to the Minisiry of Tourism later this week, PETA supporters lead a spirited demonstration at ‚Rajiv Chowk Metro Station wearing Elephants masks, Modi jackets, and white kurtas while holding briefcase reading, “Tourism Ministry : Say NO to Elephant Rides” Their aim was to encourage the Minister of Tourism to recognize that more and more tourists and Travel Agencies refuse to support cruel elephant rides, which cause animals to suffer, and ask him to support a ban on them.

“Elephants are highly intelligent and only carry humans on their back because they’ve been physically wounded and psychologically traumatized by violent beatings,” says Newkirk. “We are letting the ministry of tourism know do not support the sprit-crushing training, exhibition, and use of elephants for rides in india.”

Recently, motivated by a viral photography showing a mother Indian elephant and her baby desperately trying to outrun flaming projectiles being thrown at them by a mob, academy award winner and star of the darjeeling limited Anjelica Huston sent a letter on behalf of PETA calling on the ministry to support a ban on cruel elephant rides. The Darjeeling limited was shot mostly in Rajasthan – A state where numerous elephants are used for rides, including around Amber fort.
