Cry of freedom: Elephant chained up for 50 years is rescued and WEEPS with relief Raju was held in chains for more than 50 years after being poached in India ●The animal bled from spiked shackles and lived on hand-outs from tourists ●Team from North London charity Wildlife SOS travelled to India to free animal ●Raju cried tears of joy after being freed from suffering on American Independence Day ●Five-and-a-half tonne animal driven 350 miles away to safe conservation area North London-based charity Wildlife SOS stepped in to save Raju from dying in his bonds after learning of his plight in India. Every day, the majestic animal was forced to hold out his trunk and beg for a few coins from passers-by – surviving only on plastic and paper for food. However, last week, a 10-strong team of vets and wildlife experts from the charity were joined by 20 forestry department officers and six policemen to seize Raju from his suffering in the Uttar Pradesh area of India. The mission took place under the cover of darkness, as fewer people would be around for the dangerous rescue and the animal could be protected from the searing heat of the sun.
