Raju the crying elephant finally free!

Raju the crying elephant is finally officially free.   His previous "owner" had sued Wildlife SOS for his return, but a judge blocked it.

"Wildlife SOS argued in court that an elephant cannot be owned by someone under Indian law as they are all owned by the government, and that only a licence from the Chief Wildlife Warden is proof of ownership. According to Wildlife SOS, Raju's previous owners could not produce such a certificate."
