There are no words to describe this vile act of cruelty. Poor creature :o(

I know where I’d put that pineapple if I could get hold of the perpetrator. Sideways.

There's never been any shortage of psychopaths in the world unfortunately.

Mindless, so sad.

[Lie-in King]

Appalling, so sad.

Not done for amusement, though. This is fairly standard practice among farmers whose crops and livestock are devastated by wild boar and the like.

Doesn't make it any less horrific, though.

The poor thing must have been in agony. Truly shocking.

Ok thanks Jim, I wasn't aware of that.

I read this last night...totally abhorrent. Poor, poor creature.

God, that's disgusting. I hope those responsible suffer something similar.

Oh God that's just made me weep. Poor, poor animal she must have suffered so badly. Once again, I hate my bloody race. RIP Mama elephant xxx

as JimF says, this doesn't sound as if it was intended to kill an elephant, or to be gratuitously cruel to one.

So ???

Man in his 40's been arrested, bet not a lot happens to him, unfortunately.
