Description
Rescued from circus at age 6, PeanutĀ became the youngest elephant ever to be rescued by Wildlife SOS. Peanut was part of a group of four young elephants that had spent the entirety of their lives performing in a circus in the Indian state of Maharashtra. When not being made to perform demeaning and often dangerous tricks for the amusement of the circus audience, Peanut and her three companion elephants, were tightly restrained by all four legs, standing for days on end in their own filth and grime, with limited access to food and drinking water. The indoctrination process for any elephant into captivity is rife with torture and neglect, and this is especially so for circus elephants to make them not just subservient to their human captors, but to forcibly make them perform tricks that are both scary, painful and uncomfortable for the animals. This young playful elephant is now thriving at the sanctuary.
