Pregnant elephant in Kerala died after she was offered pineapple filled with fire crackers

Kerala : An elephant that was pregnant died in Malappuram (70% peaceful population) after she ate a pineapple filled with firecracker, offered to her by some locals. The fruit exploded in her mouth, leading to the inevitable tragedy.

She trusted everyone. When the pineapple she ate exploded, she must have been shocked not thinking about herself, but about the child she was going to give birth to in 18 to 20 months.

So powerful was the cracker explosion in her mouth that her tongue and mouth were badly injured. The elephant walked around in the village, in searing pain and in hunger. She was unable to eat anything because of her injuries.

She didn't harm a single human being even when she ran in searing pain in the streets of the village. She didn't crush a single home.
