Raju is being taught “that humans don’t mean pain and brutality.”
Meet Raju the elephant. For 50 painful years, he wore spiked chains and lived off handouts from tourists. But last week Raju cried tears of joy after he was freed by the charity Wildlife SOS in a daring midnight operation.

Wildlife SOS founder Kartick Satyanarayan said that the team were astounded to see tears roll down his face when he was rescued. He added: "The chains around his legs had spikes which were cutting into his flesh - and each time he moved puss would ooze out of wounds. Pain and brutality were all he knew."
Thankfully, Raju is now living safely in an Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in Mathura, in northern India.
