Well, Hinduism does respect animals and Mother Earth, something hardly any temples teach, as most running these temples don’t even know the ABC of Hinduism; otherwise, most Hindus would be at the forefront protecting nature rather than just chucking plastic and other waste in Ma Ganga.

We have seen some pseudo Hindus angrily reacting to this, asking, ‘Where’s PETA’ when Cows are killed, especially during Eid? etc. But the big question they never ask is, where are the billion Hindus in India protecting Cows and other animals? Actually, they did, and it was a muslim woman, a member of PETA, who was trying to stop a cow being killed during Eid while facing violence, but got no support from Hindus

Because Most just rant on Twitter X. There are some Hindus who do take action to protect cows and other animals, but they hardly get any support from the majority Hindus. But worse, we have RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat, Justifying BEEF eating for Social Harmony

Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff and PETA on Saturday gifted a life-size mechanical elephant to the ancient Nediyathali Sri Siva temple at Kodungallur here.

The three-metre-tall, 800-kilogram mechanical jumbo, named ‘Thaleeswaran’, was donated to the temple in recognition of its decision to never own or hire live elephants, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India said in a statement.

Thaleeswaran is the eleventh robot elephant donated to temples by PETA India. Shroff, praising the initiative, was quoted as having said that his heart lights up when he sees “God’s creations living happily”.

“Elephants are not meant to stand on hard floors, carry people on their backs, or walk in circles with chains around their legs. God intended for them to splash in rivers, roam in forests, and just be elephants.That’s exactly why I’m donating Thaleeswaran, a mechanical elephant, to a revered temple in Kerala,”
