Some pictures of our weekly feeding, treatment and grooming camps at the Victoria Maidan

A drink of clean water after a proper meal, something so basic, yet so rare for the horses at the Maidan.

These animals are often left tied in the blazing sun for hours, with little to no access to clean drinking water. The existing water sources are filthy, stagnant, filled with debris, and breeding mosquitoes. Despite this, there is little effort from caregivers to clean or maintain them.

We ensured these horses receive a proper meal and clean water.

This is not charity. This is the bare minimum they deserve.

After a hard-fought legal battle, justice has finally begun to prevail.
Following our significant victory in the Hon’ble Supreme Court, where the SLP challenging the order of the Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta was dismissed, directions were upheld for the return of the three elephants illegally taken out of West Bengal. The Hon’ble Court also took serious note of the West Bengal Forest Department’s non-compliance, even initiating contempt proceedings.
Today marks a crucial step forward.
Bhola and Basanti have finally been seized by the Bihar Forest Department.
This moment comes with mixed emotions. While we are relieved that two of them are now on the path back home, we carry deep sorrow for Suman, whom we tragically lost along the way—a loss that should never have happened.
Now begins the next critical phase: ensuring Bhola and Basanti’s safe, stress-free journey back to West Bengal, where they rightfully belong.
We remain committed to seeing this through—until they are home, safe, and protected.
