#MadrasHighCourt: "... it is time to rethink whether elephants can be subjected to the ignominy of participating in Temple celebrations and temple rituals and whether such activities are any better than elephants being used for begging in the streets." 
Religious sentiments must at times yield to reason and the animal’s point of view, if at all the same may be perceived, may also be taken into consideration upon obtaining scientific expert advice in such regard: #MadrasHighCourt

The number of #elephants available with forest officials should also be indicated and the history of how the animal came to be captured or used by forest officials: #MadrasHighCourt
It is also necessary to ascertain whether any practice continues in which #elephants are captured today if only for the use of forest officials and the permissibility thereof: #MadrasHighCourt
#MadrasHighCourt has also taken on record submission that two #elephants at Srirangam Temple, over whose condition concern had been raised in a petition, could be housed in a forest-like habitat near the temple and only taken to the temple for ceremonial purposes.
