GUWAHATI, India: Indian wildlife activists on Friday vowed to go to the Supreme Court to halt an operation to take four elephants on a cross-country train journey to take part in a Hindu festival.

"Experts have warned of the dangers of transporting these elephants such a huge distance, forcing them to work in heat," said Manilal Valliyate, a veterinarian and head of the Indian branch of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals . The elephants are currently in Tinsukia district in the remote northeastern state. Two were captured from the wild last year.
