The full story

Everyone including the bollywood celebrities are reacting without bothering about the full truth.

Not justifying animal killing in anyway..but the "they offered the 'pregnant' animal food stuffed with crackers knowingly" narrative is a little too much.And i can see the situation being blown out of proportion for some propaganda..its no more animal care but concealed hatred for the state.

What has happened is sad and tragic.. but plz get your facts cleared before expressing your opinion

1).Nobody had the intension of feeding the elephant with pinapple stuffed with crackers. Those were kept for wild boars that comes n destroy the crops and infect other animal. Kerala government has given permission to shoot these boars because of the hazard they spread.

2).The incident took place early in the morning and as soon as the villagers came to know this, they sought out the help of domesticated elephants to rescue the injured elephant. But sadly succumbed to her injuries before any action could be taken.

3).I totally sympathize with the elephant. But no it did not run around the village in pain screaming and crying as being potrayed in the media. This is the very reason why indian serials boom in India... pure exaggeration and playing with emotions.

4).The forest department and the villagers admitted their mistake and gave proper cremation for the elephant (what has happened is still not justified ). You know what else is not justified, tying a dog and throwing it into water to make tiktok videos out of it and you all not having a problem with it or the very least not even knowing something like that happened.

5). Last but not the least, for all those talking about animal cruelty, do you even know how scary it is to live in an area where there is a hoard of wild elephants. You all scream your hearts out when you see a baby lizard or cockroach, but ya you not are okay with the precautionary measures that the villagers take to save their own lives(still not okay to hurt animals).

Oh i had to post it today itself because your sympathies last only till your instagram stories lasts.

What is more inhuman is seeing people wish for the entire state to be affected by flood/diseases/natural calamities for the fault of few rural farmers and many agreeing with it..and biggest irony is it coming from people who worship stars who kill animals for fun.

I request celebrities to stop spreading half truth.There is zameen asmaan ka difference between saying "ppl offered food stuffed with crackers to a 'pregnant ' animal knowingly and saying "elephant ate pineapple stuffed with crackers set by rural farmers to ward off wild boars."

Empathize as much as you want but not by projecting half truth.

Wild boar killing should be legal when they dwell into agricultural lands, they are worse than pests.

But that being said, what is happening in Malappuram isn't looking good. And Kerala govt has been weak in dealing with them.

1).Nobody had the intension of feeding the elephant with pinapple stuffed with crackers. Those were kept for wild boars that comes n destroy the crops and infect other animal. Kerala government has given permission to shoot these boars because of the hazard they spread.

Its irrelevant whether it was given the fruit or it picked it up from a farm meant to deter wild boars. NO animals should be allowed to be killed in these archaic brutal slow death methods. Not even boars. There are modern technologies available which can be used. Explosives for this purpose, snares etc should be banned. Are we progressing the world or degrading? You think these methods to deter animals are right???? Progress means inculcating compassion and understanding for all species and co-existing as much as possible with least harm to other living beings.

Also now the truth is coming out that this boar story was just a smoke screen to hide the actual truth. The original story was correct. The bomb was just given for fun (of the idiot person) to the elephant. It wasnt on any farm or anything. (Even thought the farm protection story was also no justification for this incident)

2).The incident took place early in the morning and as soon as the villagers came to know this, they sought out the help of domesticated elephants to rescue the injured elephant. But sadly succumbed to her injuries before any action could be taken.

Hurt someone greviously and then say sorry. Great! I'm going to go murder a neighbour who I really hate --- tommorow I'll say sorry and pay for his cremation.

3).I totally sympathize with the elephant. But no it did not run around the village in pain screaming and crying as being potrayed in the media. This is the very reason why indian serials boom in India... pure exaggeration and playing with emotions.

Yeah you need melodrama to understand that of course an elephant whose mouth is blasted is going to be in pain. You need screams and shouts to understand that?

4).The forest department and the villagers admitted their mistake and gave proper cremation for the elephant (what has happened is still not justified ). You know what else is not justified, tying a dog and throwing it into water to make tiktok videos out of it and you all not having a problem with it or the very least not even knowing something like that happened.

Same answer as above: Hurt someone greviously and then say sorry. Great! I'm going to go murder a neighbour who I really hate --- tommorow I'll say sorry and pay for his cremation. And the dog incident was wrong too and the culprits were caught and booked. Unfortunately our animal protection laws are very weak and so they will probably get away by paying some minimum fines.

5). Last but not the least, for all those talking about animal cruelty, do you even know how scary it is to live in an area where there is a hoard of wild elephants. You all scream your hearts out when you see a baby lizard or cockroach, but ya you not are okay with the precautionary measures that the villagers take to save their own lives(still not okay to hurt animals).

You have to really have your heart in the right place to address this one. In earlier days our family used to use glue traps to trap rats to remove them from our house. We realize how harmful and brutal it is now and never do it. We use rat traps to now catch them and release them. You encroach forests and then expect it to be wild animal free. Have strict land demarking methods and donot allow forest areas to be encroached. Governments need to teach and implement newer more humane ways to control the man-animal conflict. Just sitting and saying they have a right to do it keeps us in the 18th century instead of adopting modern methods which are available.

Kal kuch ne hypocrisy ki Poll khol kar diya aur jo izzat kabhi thi nahi uski kar di chindi chindi 😆ab naye naye roop main aa rahe hai leftist piddi 🤣

This is not the first time that this kind of crime against animals happened in Malappuram....

I agree it's not right to spread fake news about the villagers doing this knowingly. And people must know the truth.

Yet, I have to say that even killing a boar with food filled with crackers is a terrible idea. Killing anything in such a way is horrible, in my opinion. Keeping food stuffed with crackers can hurt any animal which consumes it, and it's a cruel way of killing.

* I have no idea about any other ways to keep boars away, but this just sounds nasty.

Every Bollywood animal activist goes into hiding when it’s Salman’s blackbuck case though

Exactly, they speak against wrong according to their convenience. Though, two wrongs can never make right.

A pregnant elephant is killed and no excuse can justify it.
