Description
An ailing Thai elephant is being prepared for an arduous journey home from Sri Lanka after a diplomatic dispute between the two Asian nations over the creature's alleged mistreatment. Thai authorities had gifted the 29-year-old Muthu Raja to Sri Lanka in 2001, but they demanded it back last year after allegations it was tortured and neglected while housed at a Buddhist temple in the island nation's south.
