Rescued at last, Priyanka was relocated to the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre and finally began recovering from multiple health problems caused by decades of living in cruel captivity. Her new life includes activities such as strolling through open fields, giving herself dust baths, scratching on trees, and munching on greens – which you can watch her doing in this video. After spending most of her life isolated from other elephants, Priyanka has even made a new elephant friend, Laxmi.
Priyanka’s story reminds us that even after years of abuse and neglect, every animal is worth rescuing and can regain quality of life.
What’s New…
SUCCESS! — DEEP THANK YOU to all the wonderful Rescuers who made this happen for Priyanka — let’s continue to save all animals who are regularly being persecuted for a wide variety of reasons and live lives of daily torturous suffering.
I’m so sorry to hear about Priyanka, finally free and this happens. Poor baby. Thank heavens she experience what Love, free and feeling what that was like, like Darcy mentioned. Thank you for letting us know.
Wonderful to see she is enjoying her new life.
Please forgive me, I posted on the wrong elephant! I’m super sorry! It was Lakhi who passed away!!! She had a similar story.
Go to Wildlife SOS and you can see many pictures and videos of Priyanka. https://www.facebook.com/wildlifesosindia/videos/10155190309508526/

“Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher
Priyanka passed away yesterday with complications. It’s so unfortunate but she passed away after being loved, free and cared for.
I feel so happy with the outcome it has made my day .Life is great. Lance
It gladdens my heart to hear that Priyanka is at last enjoying the life tgat she was meant to live. I am glad that her former owners are in jail for mistreating her. ??
Beautiful sight!!!
So glad for Priyanka. She looks so happy that finally civilized people are letting her just be an elephant and not a slave. Those evil creatures that abuse Priyanka in that manner should be given the same treatment as punishment: bull hooked, chained and made to walk in the hot streets carrying a sign that states the crime they perpetrated. Perhaps that’ll deter any more idiots from doing the same. The article says that she has made an elephant friend. Would love to see that interaction. Thanks to all at the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre for all your wonderful efforts in protecting and caring about these majestic animals.
I would love to see a picture of her interacting with her new friend, and seeing feeding time,and where she may get water. It all helps to absorb us in the wonderful work you do to get these poor elephants freed.
may I ask, does Priyanka have any other animal to communicate with?
Thank you for the beautiful video of Priyanka looking very happy after 40 years of abuse. Thank you also to the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre for showing her what love is and looking after her. Praying that she has many more years to enjoy life with her new friend Laxmi.
Beautiful. Thank you for your uplifting stories of rescued animals.
Priyanka, you look beautiful. I am so happy you are finally free. It breaks my heart to know how much you had to endure, in your 40 years of cruel captivity of abuse and neglect. May you now be blessed with good health to enjoy everything that you were so deprived of, for so many years. Thank you, all you helped in Priyanka rescue.
Bless beautiful Priyanka and her kind rescuers! I have never seen a more lovely elephant in my life! And her joyous smile really warms my heart on this Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️
Many thanks to the brave men and women who rescued this poor animal out of slavery. Those idiots who perpetrated this heinous act upon Priyanka should be stripped naked, flogged and thrown in a dark and damp dungeon, periodically giving them the same treatment as they gave to Priyanka such as standing bare-foot on hot pavement. What low-life and uncivilized creeps they must be! Have fun, Priyanka, in your new and hopefully loving environment.
So happy for Priyanka! So thankful for her rescuers!
God bless those who rescued her!!! You are my heroes and an answered prayer. Thank you and bless you all!!!!
Heartwarming to see the smile on her face! Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
So much more beautiful when free. Love you,
Blessings to all who helped, in any way to make this possible!
Beautiful news!! Priyanka, may you finally delight in the peace of freedom!!!
How wonderful for this deserving elephant!!!
Priyanka, Glad you safe in a nice home, Love you !
Ano, každé zvíře stojí za to zachránit, ale jejich trýznitele zase ihned zabít.
