The People for the Ethical Treatment to Animals (PETA) India on Tuesday slammed the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (TNHRCE) Department for its “public relations stunt” to show Joymala, the much-abused female elephant from Assam, was being pampered in a temple.
Joymala, renamed Jeymalyatha in the southern State, should have been seized by the Tamil Nadu Government after the first case of her torture had surfaced through a video, the animal rights group said.
