A quote from the Metro article: '

A wildlife photographer has shared shocking pictures he took of elephants being chained up and beaten with canes to raise awareness of the animal abuse. Norman Watson, 47, travelled to Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India, to photograph wild tigers. Despite the tigers being well cared for and allowed to roam free in the nature reserve, Norman said he was angered to find a group of elephants, some just babies, being chained up by guides who used them for tourist rides. He witnessed the huge animals being beaten with 5ft canes and ‘screaming in agony’. Norman also claims he spotted emaciated baby elephants chained to trees and in cages during his working trip to one of India’s most popular national parks. Norman, from Aberdeen, Scotland, said: ‘I felt so much anger, there were five people in the group and they witnessed it all, feeling the same as I do. ‘We were shocked.'

The Indian Govt have a poor record of animal welfare. They are best placed to educate and introduce policies so that we love and care for this amazing beasts.
