Paul Helps Rescue a Temple Elephant (and other Elephants)
-
I just read a horrific story regarding an elephant in India that Paul thought he had rescued. This poor animal is being beaten, cannot lie down & is shackled in the heat. Please let Paul know because there is NO way he would let this happen. http://news.yahoo.com/elephant-thought-rescued-by-sir-paul-mccartney-found-beaten-in-chicken-shack-150905876.html

Paul thought he saved him back in 2012. Never happened. This poor animal is being beaten in India.

"Elephant thought rescued by Sir Paul McCartney found beaten in chicken shack India trip in 2012 prompted ex-Beatle to arrange for animal's freedom that never happened!!!!" ( There is an article on yahoo today about this poor elephant shackled and beaten. It's so sad. Sir Paul was to have rescued this elephant.....Sir Paul you have the voice that can speak louder than most anyone.

This is beyond heartbreaking!
How could one sleep at night after such actions? Sooooo incredibly sad!
I hope someone is very quick in helping this poor animal.

I believe Paul has a bigger voice & heart, than any political individual. I hope he sees this & reacts.

Here is another elephant just rescued by Wildlife SOS: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/world/2014/07/11/pkg-udas-india-rescued-crying-elephant.cnn.html I cannot believe the horror and inhumanity these beautiful creatures of God endue at the hands of "human beings!" I cried too. I hope all elephants and all animals can be somehow saved from this sick treatment. What happened to Sunder?

^^ thank you TLP.
what a beautiful storybook ending. I pray all creatures can live in Peace and Love. p.s. > I read that WILDLIFE S.O.S is a London based charity...the ones who rescued Raju. Thank you Peta and Wildlife SOS! And Sir Paul or course.

^ You're welcome! The video you posted was not loading for me the other night, but I have now had a look - another tragic case.
This poor elephant weighing in at half of what he should be...so sad!
Let's hope we are able to read of his recovery at some point in the future.

^ I watched the video on Roger sunday morning about 3 different times. It was heart wrenching to see and think about. I hope that he is in a larger enclosure now and putting weight back on.

I just finished watching An Apology to Elephants on HBO. Absolutely heartbreaking to see the devastating cruelty inflicted upon these incredibly intelligent, majestic creatures.
For those who may be interested and have access to On Demand, this documentary is available until the 31st of December.

Paul Helps to #saveElephants http://www.paulmccartney.com/news-blogs/news/paul-helps-to-saveelephants
Paul recently signed a Martin D-28 left-handed guitar, which was put up for auction and raised an astonishing $50,000 within minutes. Bidding began in the morning on eBay with a starting bid of $10,000 and quickly reached the impressive final amount in no time. Proceeds from the auction will go to The Nature Conservancy's African Elephant Initiative. Alongside his signature, Paul also scribed, "This guitar saves elephants" on the Martin guitar. A fitting slogan since the funds will be used to increase security for elephants on the ground in Africa and reduce demand for ivory.
