Describing the image of Ivanka standing next to a decorated elephant as ‘appalling,’ and calling it ‘heartbreaking’, Maria Goretti wrote, “I’m appalled at this picture of the Ambani celebration. I don’t think this should happen to any animal, specially not to animals that are being rescued and rehabilitated. Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking that this elephant was made to stand like a prop, in the middle of noise and people (sic).”

The celebrations included themed events like An Evening in Everland, A Walk on the Wildside set in the Ambanis’ animal rescue center Vantara, and a maha aarti. It is interesting to note that Vantara, a comprehensive animal rescue, care, conservation and rehabilitation programme, which was recently inaugurated, is spearheaded by Anant Ambani.
