World Animal Protection Urges End to Elephant Rides at Jaipur's Amer Fort
World Animal Protection, marking its 75th anniversary, promotes plant-based diets and animal-friendly tourism. The organisation, known for its work in animal welfare and disaster rescue, has turned its attention to Jaipur's Amer Fort, where children have campaigned to end elephant rides.
World Animal Protection has written to stakeholders, including the Prime Minister of India, to retire the riding elephants of Amer Fort to a suitable sanctuary. More than one hundred children from Cambridge School, Srinivaspuri, initiated this campaign, hoping for a ban on elephant rides by World Animal Day, 2025.
The organisation highlights the risks of zoonotic diseases from wildlife exploitation and intensive farming. It encourages tourists to enjoy Jaipur's historical and cultural experiences without harming animals, as the city offers plenty of animal-friendly attractions.
World Animal Protection, in its 75th year, continues to advocate for animal welfare and protection. It pays tribute to the late Jane Goodall's efforts in this field. The organisation's campaign to stop cruelty to elephants in Amer Fort reflects its commitment to improving the lives of animals and promoting responsible tourism.
