    Default Amputee elephant Motola is fitted with state-of-the-art artificial leg

    One small step for Motola the elephant, a giant leap for the world's injured animals.
    Motola lost her foot and most of her left leg when she walked over a landmine ten years ago.
    But yesterday, she stepped out happily - if a little tentatively - after being fitted with a state-of-the-art artificial limb.

    I don't like posting stories about animal cruelty. There is far too much of that as it is.

    (The only exception is if there's a petition available to sign.)
