On Tuesday the matter was taken off the court roll due to a lack of evidence against the three.
Jane Boswell, her daughter Georgina, and elephant handler David Marais were facing a string of charges for allegedly beating, chaining, confining and not providing sufficient water and shade to elephants between December 2012 and January 2013.
The three faced charges which relate to the contravention of the Animal Protection Act 71 of 1962.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Chris de Klerk, said that there was not sufficient evidence in the case against the three.
“There must be some sort of culpability, the owners must know about it, condemn it or fail to act upon an incident after being notified about it. There is not sufficient evidence in this case,” said De Klerk.
