💨 Abstract

The Kerala High Court compared the life of captive elephants, extensively used in religious festivals, to the second deadliest extermination camp (Treblinka) during WW2 due to commercial exploitation and neglect of their well-being. The court stated that using elephants in religious practices is not essential and ordered strict conditions for their parade, including adherence to a feeding schedule, fitness certificates, and transportation regulations.
