A pregnant wild elephant died on 27 May in Kerala’s Silent Valley Forest by the cruel act of people. A man offered a pineapple filled with dangerous crackers to the victim which exploded in her mouth on Wednesday. The incident took place in Silent Valley Forest, Attappadi Kerala.
This terrific murder of a pregnant elephant is intolerable. The act depicted, humanity is no longer left in humans. According to Mohan Krishnan, a forest officer, who narrated the scene on his Facebook account told that the elephant was starving. While searching for food, someone offered her Pineapple filled with crackers probably with the intention of evading her. The terrible act by the humans took the life of two animals, one havn’t even opened his eyes yet. The person behind this cruel act should be punished.
“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,” Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) and Chief Wildlife Warden Surendrakumar told PTI. After the post- mortem performed by doctors, it was revealed that the Wild Elephant was pregnant. Mr. Sundar Kumar furthur reported that,“I have directed the forest officials to nab the culprit. We will punish him for ‘hunting’ the elephant”.
Thee Senior Officer added,”It was very weak. When the forest officials approached, the elephant ran into the forest and joined the herd of elephants waiting there. But the next day, the elephant was again found alienated from its herd. Proper treatment was given but unfortunately, it succumbed to its wounds,” he said.
After this horrifying incident, social media fled with thousands of post in the favour of the elephant and demanding the Government to give justice to the elephants and consider that no animal should be harmed by humans. All over the country, everyone condemns this behavior. Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar and Shraddha Kapoor to cricketers like Virat Kohli are sharing the posts. Even Ratan Tata too expressed his grief about the same.
Recently, Black Lives Matter is trending over social media. But why do we all forget about animals? Don’t they deserve to live? Can’t they stay with their families on Earth? “Every Life Matters” should be the trend irrespective of caste,creed,colour, any discrimination. Everyone is god’s child and everyone as the right to live, grow and have a beautiful life. Let everyone live freely and feel the beauty of life.
We all are the responsible citizens of the country should come together for the justice for animals and make a better place for them. The acts against the animals are reported daily and are increasing day by day. We should join our hands to save the wildlife and support our government and forest services in this beautiful act to save every life because Every Life Matters and even animal lives matters.
