Revoke Licenses for Vets Who Reportedly Falsely Certified Unfit Elephant

Target: Dr. H C Indresh, President of the Karnataka Veterinary Council

Goal: Ensure the veterinarians face the maximum disciplinary action for their reported unethical practices.

An elephant named Roopavathi was reportedly transported from Karnataka to Telangana for public processions under false health certificates provided by veterinarians. Despite severe health issues, including unilateral blindness, arthritis, cracked footpads, and an unhealed wound, the veterinarians reportedly declared her fit for the events. These allegedly fraudulent declarations led to Roopavathi’s unnecessary suffering and participation in activities that further endangered her well-being.

Reportedly, PETA India has called for immediate action against the suspected veterinarians – Dr. Sathish from Karnataka and Drs. M Navin Kumar, M Abdul Hakeem, G Shambhulingam, and B Sambasiva Rao from Telangana. The alleged issuance of false health certificates not only violates veterinary ethics but also breaches The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.

It is imperative that the Karnataka Veterinary Council revokes the licenses of the accused to prevent further malpractice and ensure justice for Roopavathi. Immediate rehabilitation for Roopavathi at a reputable sanctuary where she can live unchained and receive proper care is also essential. Take action now.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear President Indresh,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case involving the transportation and use of an elephant named Roopavathi based on allegedly false health certificates issued by several veterinarians. Reportedly, despite severe health issues, including unilateral blindness, arthritis, and cracked footpads, these veterinarians declared her fit for public events, leading to unnecessary suffering.

This alleged disregard for animal welfare and violation of veterinary ethics necessitates immediate action. I urge you to revoke the licenses of the suspected veterinarians and ensure that Roopavathi receives proper care at a reputable sanctuary. Strict disciplinary measures are essential to prevent such alleged malpractice and ensure justice for Roopavathi.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
