The charity said, 'Today he knows what freedom is and he will learn what kindness feels like and what it's like to not suffer any more.'
According to the charity's resident wildlife veterinarian Dr. Yaduraj Khadpekar, Raju the elephant is now receiving medical attention.
Wildlife SOS also said that after Raju the elephant cries, and when he has been fully rehabilitated, he will be joining two other rescued elephants living out the rest of his days in peace.
Raju the elephant cries after being rescued and freed is a story that leaves tears not only to the eyes of the thankful creature, but to the wildlife freedom fighters as well. Pooja said, 'We all had tears in our eyes as the last rope which held the final spike was cut. And Raju took his first steps of freedom...He'll spend the rest of his life in a safe compound in dignity and free from suffering and pain.
Wildlife SOS is currently trying to raise £10,000 in order to cover for Raju the elephant's expenses and build a new enclosure for the rest of the elephants they have rescued. For more information and for donation details, you can visit www.wildlifesos.org.
