Animal lovers in Mathura, India, are knitting sweaters for elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center as part of a new initiative. These colorful new garments will help the rescued pachyderms, several of whom are handicapped, brave the freezing cold weather set to hit northern India.
The 20 elephants that call the center home are blind, disabled or on the mend. Most of them were rescued from trafficking, illegal captivity and cruel circuses. They have been through a lifetime of abuse, and their saviors don’t want them to endure another uncomfortable day ever again.
The center also provides the residents with open spaces, top notch medical care, frequent baths, plentiful food and lots of love.

I’m just imagining being the person who has to get them dressed in that.

That elephant simultaneously looks like someone's 90 year old Nana and an aerobics instructor from the '80s and it's magical.
