Humans act inhuman: Throw a burning tyre on a wild elephant resulting in its death

Mumbai, 23 January
2021
Two men have been
arrested in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, for their gruesome and inhuman act
of throwing a burning tyre on a wild elephant resulting in its death.
According to a senior forest official, the elephant was attacked on January 8 after it had damaged a luxury car parked at Mavanalla, a small resort town located 25 kms north of the famous hill-station of Ooty (Udhagamandalam).
After a hue and
cry raised by wildlife activists over the issue, the local police arrested two
people on January 22 – two days after the elephant died; while one more accused
is on the run.
A video of the gruesome
attack on the elephant started doing rounds in social media, following which an
investigation was launched by the forest department officials and the police.
“The accused flung
a burning tyre filled with kerosene at the elephant, which was already being
treated by the forest department for a deep back injury,” said L C S Srikanth,
deputy director of Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (Buffer Zone), who is in charge of
the area.
“Two persons have
been arrested in this regard,” he added.
The arrested accused
have been identified as Raymond Malcolm (28) and Prasath Sugumaran (36).
The elephant was
attacked after it came close to the resort run by Malcolm.
In the video, the
elephant can be seen running away, screaming in pain. It was later found by
forest rangers with severe burn injuries on the back and ear, in a very weak
condition.
The elephant
succumbed to the injuries while it was being transported to a medical facility at
Theppakadu Elephant Camp for treatment on January 19.
Prior to the
incident, the elephant was being treated for about 45 days by the forest
department. While handling it was tough, there was one forest watcher who was
taking care of the elephant, said a forest official. The flaming tyre had
damaged the ear lobe leading to severe bleeding. There were efforts to save the
elephant but it died. The caregiver was inconsolable following the elephant’s
death.
“The laxity in implementation
of the Wildlife Act is costing the lives of many wild animals. Moreover, there
is a need to overhaul the penal laws framed during the British colonial rule.
Times have changed, but we are still following the laws enacted more than a
hundred years ago, which does not deter criminals. The law has to be changed to
heavy penalties and longer prison terms that will deter people from committing such
heinous crimes,” says Vanam S Chandrashekar, a wildlife activist from
Coimbatore, asking for strict punishment against the perpetrators.
Meanwhile, the Nilgiris
District Collector J Innocent Divya stated that the resort has been sealed.
