While humans are busy fighting the novel coronavirus, other species on earth are threatened by mankind. A pregnant elephant succumbed to death after locals in Kerala, India fed it with a pineapple that was filled with firecrackers.
According to the reports, the explosives injured the wild elephant’s jaw, tongue, and mouth, however, it survived the horrific incident for a week. It couldn’t eat or drink following the abuse and the body was later found in a river nearby after a week.

Central Government has taken a very serious note of the killing of an elephant in Mallapuram, #Kerala. We will not leave any stone unturned to investigate properly and nab the culprit(s). This is not an Indian culture to feed fire crackers and kill.@moefcc @PIB_India @PIBHindi

This is heartbreaking………Abb Azzab na aai toh aur kiya ho? This is some next level cruelty.
