Let me have 10 minutes alone with these cowards….I`ll show them what pain is…
Those young men have NO respect or compassion for any animal! Have you seen how they “train” elephants? It is beyond barbaric. They torture them!
OVER A BILLION PEOPLE!! No country can support that many. Women and wildlife and NOT SAFE IN INDIA.
I have traveled there myself — I know it is true. NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN OR ANIMALS.
The government NEEDS to MAKE SAFE CORRIDORS so ELEPHANTS CAN ROAM WITHOUT DAMAGING VILLAGES!
It is essential that a countrywide EFFORT is made– and ADVERTISED to everyone will understand and HELP to make the PASSAGES. Elephants do NOT want to be near humans! They just look for food and water…they roam big distances.
HELP THEM! (India has far too many young men who are UNCIVILIZED – Rape women and torture animals.)
Birth control and education MUST BE A PRIORITY! Not space travel…who gives a damn about that?? Only MODI.
wtf are u doing he is just a baby please stop hurting these beauftul and innocent elepant
Understanding the context in which elephant violence occurs and acknowledging the sensitivity of these magnificent creatures to their surroundings is of utmost importance. It is concerning that bystanders would view such situations as entertainment rather than intervening to prevent harm. This behavior reflects poorly on the mentality of those involved and highlights the necessity for greater awareness and education. Human-elephant conflict is a complex issue that involves social injustice and habitat destruction. With over a billion people on the Indian continent, it is imperative to take action to protect elephants and their natural habitats.
How can people be so despicable. I hope that the horrible people that caused such pain and cruelty to the elephant are never again in a position to be near another animal. I do hope the elephant has received medical care with pain meds and the promise of a safe and enjoyable future.
stupid comments what you do when an elefant destroy your house and crops and kill your children you stand there and laugh what shal the villllsagers do
