Cambridge School Kids Spark Campaign to End Elephant Rides in Jaipur's Amer Fort
Over 100 children from Cambridge School, Srinivaspuri have sparked a significant campaign to protect elephants. They wrote to the Prime Minister of India, urging an end to elephant rides in Jaipur's Amer Fort. This initiative aligns with World Animal Protection's decade-long efforts to combat cruelty towards these majestic creatures.
The children's letter highlighted the contradiction between Jaipur's UNESCO World Heritage status and the captive elephants in Amer Fort. They emphasized that elephants are wild creatures meant to be cherished in their natural habitats, not exploited for rides. The organization, World Animal Protection, has commended the children's initiative, with Country Director Gajender Kumar Sharma praising their efforts.
World Animal Protection, celebrating its 75th anniversary, has written to stakeholders to retire the riding elephants of Amer Fort to a suitable wildlife sanctuary. The organization also raises awareness about the risk of zoonotic diseases from wildlife exploitation and intensive farming, encouraging plant-based diets as a healthier and more ethical alternative.
The children's campaign, supported by World Animal Protection, seeks to end elephant rides in Amer Fort. This move not only respects the welfare of these intelligent creatures but also aligns with Jaipur's UNESCO World Heritage status. The organization continues to advocate for animal-friendly historical and cultural experiences, promoting a more compassionate and sustainable world.
