The Welfare of Elephants at Amber Fort
Although the treatment and conditions of the elephants used for climbing up the hill to Amber Fort have greatly improved over the years there are still problems among the herders as they can be aggressive towards the animals. The Jaipur Government now ensures that the animals are healthy and routine inspections are conducted after backlash from a lot of animal rights groups like People for Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA) and others. Originally'the elephants would work all day'but now as there are strict enforcement in place'they are limited to only five trips a day and can carry only two passengers plus the driver per trip.
