The life of Sunder the elephant gained worldwide attention earlier this month, after his tragic existence in India was revealed to the public. The 13-year-old elephant had been kept chained in the dark for seven years at an Indian temple, at the hands of an abusive handler.
But officials announced Sunder will be rescued from his shed hell in India’s Maharashtra district. He will be moved to a wildlife centre near Bangalore.
The elephant got a boost from a couple of celebrities, who pleaded with Indian officials for the animal’s release. Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney and actress Pamela Anderson rallied India’s forest minister Dr. Patangrao Kadam for Sunder’s freedom.
