Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- AG BABU <agbabu Nov 8, 2008 4:11 PM another tusker abandoned to death awbi <awbi, Secretary AWBI <secretary.awbi, rmkawbi The attached pictures speak the trauma and pain being suffered by one tusker in Thodupuzha {Idukki District} in the South Indian State of Kerala. This working elephant which has already fetched in a couple of million rupees for the keeper/owner is now almost abandoned with rotten infected hind legs and a weak and wounded body.For the past 60 daysthe poor creature had no shelter or a roof over his head .He could not lie down during the heavy Kerala monsoon as his legs were rotten and swollen and chained to a nearby coconut tree in the rubber plantation. Two deep wounds on both sides of his belly show extent of the sadistic methods employed by the mahout asw per the commands of his master.The owner assured us that an " expert elephant vet " from Ernakulam district of the Kerala State Animal Husbandry Department is looking after the elephant very wel. If proper medical and management care is not given the elephant is destined for a slow and painful death.
