Kottayam (Kerala), Sep. 8 : Abraham Thomas of Kerala out of his deep affection for the pachyderms has prepared a huge cemetery, which enables the giant animals to be laid down in peace here.
Thomas has so far buried more than 55 elephants, from within the State as well as the neighbouring states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu at his Palakunnam Estate, which is spread over 150 acres at Manimala in Kottayam District of Kerala.
The cemetery has enabled the elephants to be buried and leave the world with dignity otherwise the unattended carcass lie around and get rotten.
