People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Twitter account posted a thank you note for comedian Kapil Sharma for aiding an elephant. Kapil has responded to the tweet.

On Saturday, PETA tweeted: “@KapilSharmaK9 Thanks again for helping elephant Sunder. We have great news about another elephant! Following PETA India’s efforts, the nation’s ‘skinniest elephant’, Lakshmi, has been given the green light by a court to be permanently rescued from abuse.” The nonprofit organization even shared an article about one more elephant named Lakshmi, who was rescued by the team.

Kapil reacted to the tweet and wrote, “It’s a great news. So proud of you guys. God bless.”

In 2015 Kapil was honoured with PETA’s Person of the Year Award for his commitment to promote the adoption of homeless dogs.  “I am thrilled to learn that I’m being recognised for helping animals. I love to make people laugh but what we all should know is that dog and cat homelessness is no laughing matter.”

“Each one of who has the time, resources and patience to welcome an animal companion into our homes should adopt a needy dog or cat from shelters or the streets. Zanjeer and I will cherish this PETA award forever,” he added.
