A tourist suffered a broken leg after being grabbed and slammed by an elephant, named Gouri, during a ride in Jaipur's Amer Fort. PETA released footage to highlight animal welfare and safety concerns. Gouri previously injured a shopkeeper in 2022. PETA urges officials to relocate Gouri to a sanctuary and halt elephant rides, citing the animals' known tendencies to "lash out in fear and frustration" due to harsh conditions. The campaign group suggests replacing elephant rides with decorated electric vehicles. PETA's Poorva Joshipura emphasizes the need for authorities to act, urging tourists to refrain from supporting such practices.
