Criticism Of Vantara

However, certain sections of people have also raised eyebrows over the private ownership of such projects. A wildlife activist from Assam reportedly had raised concerns over the transfer of an elephant, cow, and her calf from Manas National Park to Vantara.

The objection was based on laws that have banned the capture of wild elephants and the commercial sale of elephants. As per the law16bet, anyone who owns an elephant has to prove its heredity from an already captive mother and all calves are to be microchipped.
