    This pachyderm was shot because it was eating 'pachhe'. All Cheddi Gangs are advised to feed only 'Saffron' to elephants ;) ;) ;)

    Why is poor elephant chained and tortured in temples? Release them back into their forests.

    Because Menaka Gandhi sees Elephants as aliens and not animals. Elephants are treated like Dalits, held captive and made to serve. Treatment of these Elephants shows the 'gulami' mindset.

    Balarama .... the great tusker who abodes his duty in farmous Dusshera of Mysore cannot be treated in such way. What would the farm owner had done if there was a wild tusker attaching his farm ? At least he could have complained to the camp authorities, who would have surely taken a call and kept an further eye on Balarama. Very sad incident. Elephants are one of the most intelligence creature on this earth and have the sense to identify danger even before an human could sense it.

    Feeling so sad looking at that innocent animal....In the meantime understand the pain of the farm owner. Please arrest the person who is in charge of that innocent animal and arrest him for the negligence towards his duty. If i was entrusted this duty, i would have done my duty diligently....Govt employees are careless 😡😡😡😡
