Shocking images of an elephant so malnourished its ribs can be seen through its skin reveals the suffering that majestic animals are put through just to entertain humans, activists say.
Save Elephant Foundation posted photographs of 70-year-old Asian elephant Tikiiri, who is one of 60 working at the annual Esala Perahera festival in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
Images show Tikiiri without an elaborate costume.
The images show Tikiiri without the elaborate and colourful costume she is draped with as she is paraded around during the Buddhist festival, which runs for 10 days each year and features dancers, jugglers, musicians, fire-breathers and decorated elephants.
