Mysuru: Activists of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), India, held a protest in front of Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple (Balarama Gate) in city this morning against the use of elephants in processions, circuses, fun camps and using them to do physical labour like lifting tree logs.
The protest saw PETA activists wearing elephant masks while some of the activists were seen pulling chains that were tied to masked protesters. The activists were dressed in green. This symbolises the torture that is meted out to elephants after they are captured from the wild. The protests were held to mark the World Elephant Day on Aug.12.
