PETA, Shetti Back Vantara’s Elephant Rehabilitation Center
PETA and former MP Raju Shetti are happy about a plan to build a special home for Madhuri the elephant near Kolhapur.
The new center will provide Madhuri a safe and peaceful place to live and get care for health issues like arthritis and foot rot.
This plan follows court orders, and Madhuri will retire with other elephants.
The goal is for her to feel better.
PETA India supports Vantara's satellite elephant rehabilitation center.
Former MP Raju Shetti now backs the proposal for Madhuri's care.
The Bombay High Court and Supreme Court previously mandated Madhuri's rehabilitation.
