Weeping Elephant Is All Smiles Now As He Makes New Friends At Rescue Sanctuary

10 July 2014

 - Just days after shedding tears of joy while being rescued from the painful shackles of five long decades of mistreatment, Raju the newly-freed elephant is in much better spirits. While his physical wounds will still take time to heal, it seems the dark clouds that hung over him for so long have already begun to lift.

Less than a week after arriving, Raju looks to be all smiles as he makes friends on the grounds of his safe new home.

It didn’t take long before Raju, transported to a center for formerly-abused elephants, began to socialize with others like him on his own terms, perhaps for the first time in half-a-century.
