Ankit_sharma03 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 pregnant wild elephant in Kerala's Silent Valley Forest fell victim to an act of human cruelty after a pineapple filled with powerful crackers offered by a man exploded in her mouth when she chomped on it, a senior forest officer said on Tuesday. "Her jaw was broken and she was unable to eat after she chewed the pineapple and it exploded in her mouth. It is certain that she was offered the pineapple filled with crackers to eliminate her," said Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) and Chief Wildlife Warden Surendrakumar. The incident was reported from the fringe areas of the Silent Valley in Attappadi. Surendrakumar said the elephant died at Velliyar River in Malappuram district on May 27. He said the post-mortem revealed that the pachyderm was pregnant. "I have directed the forest officials to nab the culprit. We will punish him for 'hunting' the elephant," he said. The issue of the pachyderm's tragic death came to light after Mohan Krishnan, a forest officer, posted an emotional note on his Facebook page, narrating the death of the elephant in the waters of the Velliyar River. "When we saw her she was standing in the river, with her head dipped in the water. She had a sixth sense that she was going to die. She took the Jalasamadhi in the river in a standing position", Krishnan, who was deputed to bring the elephant back to the shore, wrote. He also posted the photo of the elephant standing in the river water.

Clarke Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 This may have been unintentional. Another article said that the stuffed pineapples are used to prevent the wild boars from damaging the crops. That in itself sounds extreme, although living in a city I can't point a finger to the challenges rural folks face. The elephant strayed outside the forest in search of food and ended up consuming the pineapple. Quite tragic how she suffered for days before she ventured out again from the forest and was spotted by forest officers who did make genuine efforts to help her. velu and Real McCoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trichromatic Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 1. It's not Kerala bashing opportunity. Political bias shouldn't be used applied everywhere. 2. If it was intentional, how the hell someone sleep by even thoughts of such act. Stan AF, Laaloo, Alam_dar and 1 other 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Drive Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Usually people give money to butcher to kill animals and then eat them as food. Killing animals is a normal for billions of people over the world to satisfy their taste buds. This guy is no different. Mentally sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some state faces this problem regularly nothing wrong in pointing it out, not just this elephant many animal deaths from the state, aur bhi links hai. Likewise bashing so called cow belt or gutka states, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Bengal, Kashmir is common here, no special status for Kerala that it should escape criticism. Anyway not everything is about politics. diga, coffee_rules and Laaloo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) We admire our armymen, CRPF/BSF personnel, police officers, RTI activists etc. but spare a thought for the forest officers and rangers. Unsung heroes, they get attacked by Naxals, wild animals, suspicious tribals, poachers armed to the teeth like AQ terrorists, mining/forest mafia and then imagine dealing with depressing **** like this. Usually live in the middle of nowhere, away from families and civilization, exposed to all kinds of threats ranging from reptiles and insects to diseases, hardly any media coverage or movies/literature to hail their efforts. They tried their best here but fell short, hope the elephant understood in its final moments that there were humans desperate to save it, that it wasn't alone.

The problem is farm lands encroaching jungles, being developed in forest land and occupiers are using all methods to keep animals away.

Gollum Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Malappuram India's most violent district, an elephant killed every 3 days in Kerala: Maneka Gandhi Quote BJP leader and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi on Wednesday lashed out at the Kerala government for not taking any action on a pregnant elephant's barbaric "murder" in Malappuram. The shocking incident came to light on Tuesday after a forest officer in Malappuram district shared the details of the horrific incident on Facebook. He said that the pregnant wild elephant came out of the forest, meandering into a nearby village in search of food. As she walked on the streets, locals gave her a cracker-laden pineapple to eat. The fruit exploded in her mouth killing her. Gandhi said Malapurram is India's most violent district and an elephant is killed every 3 days in Kerala. "It is a murder, Malappuram is famous such incidents, it is India's most violent district. For instance, they throw poison on roads so that 300-400 birds and dogs die at one time," she said. "Kerala Government has not taken any action in Malappuram, it seems they are scared. An elephant is killed every 3 days in Kerala. We have less than 20,000 elephants left in India, they are rapidly declining," the animal rights activist further said. Gandhi also questioned Rahul Gandhi and demanded the removal of forest secretary, the concerned minister. "Forest Secretary should be removed, the minister (for wildlife protection), if he has any sense, should resign. Rahul Gandhi is from that area, why has he not taken action," she asked. It is learnt that the elephant suffered serious injuries in her mouth due to the explosion of crackers and she kept on walking around in pain. "She didn't harm a single human being even when she ran in searing pain in the streets of the village. She didn't crush a single home. This is why I said, she is full of goodness," the forest officer wrote on Facebook. Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
