SAVE ANIMALS

Rescue Stories from the field:

Galpaya

Generous supporters like you have helped VI save countless animals like Galpaya, a young bull elephant who's mouth was injured by an illegal jaw bomb. Farmers put out these bombs to kill or injure wild boars and other animals considered pests so they don’t eat or damage their crops. At the Elephant Transit Home in Sri Lanka, our team cared fo Galpaya's wounds and prepared his specially formulated food until he made a full recovery.

Madumi, a young elephant calf with a serious leg injury, was found in pain and struggling to walk. After arriving at the Elephant Transit Home in Sri Lanka, the veterinary team found a metal cable embedded in her leg. Madumi was anesthetized and the cable surgically removed.
