Target: Satya Pal Malik, Governor of Bihar

Goal: Ensure Laxmi the elephant finally receives justice after 30 years of abuse.

Lamxi never got a chance at a happy life. At a young age she was taken away illegally from her family and the wild in Bihar, India. Lamxi is believed to have been malnourished and neglected until the day she died. She endured 30 years of inhumane treatment which reportedly included grueling hours of work, being whipped, and left alone in a tiny cold room with zero interaction with other elephants.

After Lamxi’s abusers were done with her, they apparently left her to die. Sadly, it wasn’t enough to kill her or leave her extremely malnourished. They also decided to torture her without reason days before the elephant took her last breath. The Forest Department found her chained in a small brick shed. Her abusers fled leaving her dead lifeless body in her own filth. Lamxi deserved better than this, she didn’t deserve a life full of pain and suffering. Sign below to demand that justice is served and Lamxi’s killers are found and prosecuted for their actions.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mr. Malik,

Lamxi was taken from the wild illegally at a very young age. The poachers that took her away from her family abused and deeply malnourished her to the point of death. She lived for 30 years and when she was no longer useful for these heartless abusers, they attacked her with spears, bull-hooks, and sticks before leaving her to die alone in a small brick shed.

Cases like Lamxi’s are sadly not uncommon. There have been many cases that are similar; elephants that are taken from their home and forced to work while being grossly mistreated and malnourished. There needs to be an end to these cases of animal abuse. Assure Lamxi gets the justice she deserves, and the Indian government finds these abusers and prosecutes them.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
