Target: Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Goal: Find and punish those responsible for blowing up a pregnant elephant with an exploding pineapple trap.
A pregnant elephant was simply searching for food when she was blown up and killed by a pineapple that had been stuffed with explosives. It is suspected that the trap had been set by ranchers or hunters looking to kill wild boars in the area. However, there are some reports that the elephant may have been killed by villagers after wandering into town in search of food.
The elephant was a 15-year-old female who was 1 month pregnant. When she bit into the pineapple, the explosive device detonated, causing her jaw to explode into pieces.
“Based on the nature of its wound, we are assuming that it died due to explosives,” stated KK Sunil Kumar, Mannarkkad Divisional Forest Officer.
Although killing wildlife in this manner is illegal under India’s Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, it is not unusual for violations to occur.
Tragically, the suffering elephant was not killed instantly by the blast. Instead, she lived for a series of days, wandering the jungle with her jaw shattered in pieces. She finally settled into a river in search of relief from the flies that had infested her wounds. Eventually it was there that she succumbed to her injuries.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prime Minister Modi,
A pregnant elephant was recently killed by a pineapple filled with explosives. This tragic event occurred in Kerala’s Silent Valley National Park.
According to investigators, it is believed the explosive laden pineapple was placed by ranchers or hunters looking to kill wild boars. However, there are some reports that this act may have been perpetrated by villagers looking to keep the elephant out of their town.
Clearly, more resources are needed to properly investigate and prosecute this tragic case. Please support these efforts to your greatest ability.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

What bastards to do this to an innocent animal. And to let her suffer so – thrive these sub -humans in jail forever -DISGUSTING!!!!!
All those bastards involved must be executed. They don’t deserve to live. People must stop getting away with torturing and killing all animals. It all must be made illegal and the people would get an automatic death sentence.
I agree, what if a child tried to take that pineapple & eat it…..it’s murder!!
Humans cause so much suffering to animals… my heart breaks…
It seems as though India lacks real law enforcement when it comes to these common violations against animals. These sadistic human beings should be shot for what they did to this pregnant elephant. The immense pain and suffering that this innocent creature had to endure is heartbreaking.
The authorities won’t do anything. India – SNORT. These people are ignorant, oblivious and cruel. In all honesty, best thing would be to drop napalm on the whole fucking place and wipe out the human garbage that is nothing but a virus here.
The animals need us GONE.
This is so sickening. That poor elephant! Such suffering – this is heartbreaking. Get justice for this poor elephant!
I hope the perpetrators face the same fate this poor elephant suffered through
This is beyond Evil and all those involved ( young and old) must suffer the same fate. Even authorities who turn a blind eye to this cold hearted murder! Callous souulless subhumans have No place in this world amongst us
I am sickened,devastated and extremely disgusted knowing that this poor mama elephant and her baby died so horrifically and painfully for nor reason at all except that humans are monsters who kill and destroy because they can. I have watched this story evolve and demand that justice is gotten for this mama and her unborn baby.
RIP POOR MAMA AND BABY AND KNOW WE THE PUBLIC OF THE WORLD ARE OVER THIS KIND OF CRUELTY AND MURDER AND DEMAND, YES DEMAND THOSE INVOLVED ARE SEVERELY PUNISHED AND THAT MEANS 2-4 YEARS IN JAIL, FINED A HUGE AMOUNT LIKE 25K, BANNED FROM HAVING OR EVEN BEING AROUND ANY ANIMALS EVEN WORKING WITH THEM. WE ARE WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS!

That’s fair. I just can’t stand of those all evil cold blooded heartless Animal ABUSERS and they all should eliminated from earth!!! They are not a human and they are just piece garbage. NO MERCY for animal abusers and killers.
This hurts my heart. Poor animal. I hate the people who did this.

Breaks my heart to pieces knowing these evil sick monsters did this disgusting thing to an innocent animal…plus on top of that, she was pregnant. OMG WTF is wrong with people man? This act needs JUSTICE. My eyes are filled with tears for elephant & baby. R I.P. to both of you. LEAVE ANIMALS ALONE!!! They deserve the right to be here and not bothered.
Another heartbreaking incident of those vicious filthy and degraded psychopaths inhabiting the earth we share with those poor innocent suffering animals who had the misfortune to come in contact with them. These cowardly examples of walking excrement are living in the sewage of their dead hearts and poisoned minds, they are a waste of space on the planet , and I hope and pray Karma will catch up with the vile wretches soon … we all know what punishment they deserve.. may it get back to them and all perpetrators like them ASAP .
This one really hurt my soul. Poor baby just wanted something to eat.
+RIP mama elephant and baby
Death penalty for bastard killers, SOB, cowards!.
Justice for animals!
Animals are treated badly in India and this is just one example. I attribute that to the lack of meaningful law enforcement and ignorant people. My heart is so broken for this poor animal who suffered a horrible death. Using explosives to kill any animal is barbaric!
this is so wrong
