Gruesome incident in India against one elephant leaves the entire nation mourning

It has been reported that an elephant, a pregnant elephant, was a fed crackers-filled pineapple by villagers. The majestic animal was passing through and put her faith in some of the cruelest people to exist. Tragically, the elephant did not survive and passed away while standing in the river. The image of her standing in the river, helpless, scared, and not knowing why this is happening is one of the most heartbreaking images to exist on the internet.  This is not the first time that animal cruelty in India is coming forward. However, this is one of the most heinous acts.

An FIR is in motion against the culprits. Officials suspect that the elephant had been fed the pineapple towards the end of April or beginning of May. The starvation and the shrinking indicate it happened around 20 days ago.

. “We don’t know when the incident happened. But because of the starvation and shrinking of the elephant, we suspect that it would have happened around 20 days ago”, says forest official Aashique Ali.
