Villagers near the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in the city of Mathura (India) have been knitting away to create the snazzy plus sized packaderm pyjamas for abused elephants!
Knitting something this size takes real dedication and it is nice to see that whilst Europe and the US seems to be spiralling into hatred and self destruction, there is still some humanity left out there.
According to The Independent, the elephants have been rescued from abusive situations such as cruel circuses, and as such their immune systems are less prepared to deal with the near freezing temperatures, and so the villagers sprung into knitting action.
As you know, here on Newsnibbles, we are fans of pet couture, but we have yet to feature plus sized to this extent. As we all know, big is beautiful, and we were thrilled to discover this story. We are also thrilled to learn we have quite the following in India (clearly a country with intelligence and taste), so, if you have pictures of elephants in outfits, we would love to see them, please share them with us on Facebook.
Wildlife SOS India does a fantastic job rescuing abused animals, and as well as elephants they rescue dancing bears, leopards and more. Follow their blog to find out more about what they do and how you can help.
