World Elephant Day saw a cycling event in Rajasthan with the slogan "No pride in elephant ride."

Rajasthan Road Riders, a Jaipur cycling group, backed World Animal Protection India's campaign against elephant rides at Amer Fort

Elephants at Amer Fort endure bull hooks causing wounds. Carrying heavy seats for tourists worsens their injuries and muscle strain

When not used for rides, elephants are chained, leading to social isolation, stress, and painful foot problems

This campaign aims to end the cruelty of elephant rides, promoting their well-being and freedom

Support for this cause is crucial in creating a better future for these majestic creatures
