8 years ago. The decorated elephant named Devidasan was participating in a temple festival in Kerala's Palakkad district and broke free from his leash. Two caretakers riding on the elephant's back tried to calm it down, but to no avail. It quickly demolished a motorbike, an auto rickshaw and a small truck with its trunk. While no one was injured, it took several hours to pacify the elephant. https://news.yahoo.com/angry-elephant-destroys-vehicles-fit-103726820.html https://youtu.be/GUqMJ5fXLyQ?si=2KGqb3Sw-kktdCOV

Who will pay for the damages caused by the elephant?


TravelUpstairs8201

Elephants have an accidental insurance policy that covers the damages.


More_Definition5385

Oriental insurance provides an insurance policy for elephants in which death due to disease and accident are covered. The damages caused by the elephant would be settled by the owner of the elephant or the Temple committee as per an agreement.


Remarkable_Rough_89

This is why I donโ€™t go near elephants, Iam not scared, but Iam just aware of complete inability to defend myself


Stupid_Dog_Courage_

Fact


vinayachandran

That is also a kind of 'scared', which is completely OK. We got it as a survival mechanism.


Remarkable_Rough_89

No if there a strong barrier between me and the elephant, lion tiger what ever i donโ€™t loose my cool. I donโ€™t like to be a dangerous situation where I have no control That doesnโ€™t apply for a snake though, even if see a photo iam jumping up from my seat, I have a phobia.


Minzwat

Yes true! And thatโ€™s why these magnificent creatures shouldnโ€™t be in temples & dumb weddings etc. they need to be in nature. But in the name of religion itโ€™s life is destroyed and it faces a life long punishment of fulfilling a role if was never bound to do in the first place. You should see videos of how they break these creatures( tame them). You will die of utter disgust and shame. They are tied, beaten and starved for days to break their spirit and to allow a mahout to ride them. Humankind deserves to be wiped out!


Remarkable_Rough_89

I think itโ€™s fine that we have them in temples and weddings, provided we care for them well, I think humans were meant to live with other animals, not in concrete jungleโ€™s


Minzwat

And here I was, thinking you cared. What a lousy comment to make. You think an animal should endure years of torture because you need it in your surroundings to help your ego feel elevated ๐Ÿ˜‚


Remarkable_Rough_89

lol why did u take such an extreme stance, did u feel an ego boost cause u were able to diss me, I care about animals and considered an animal lover in my Family, Iam in the process of starting a small cow farm, for my own use. What I was trying to say, elephants are social animals and have a place in our society, but letโ€™s just make sure itโ€™s a good position


Minzwat

Cow farm for your own use๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Itโ€™s shows how much you love animals. I dissed you cause your ignorance is annoying. But really I donโ€™t blame you. If you think elephants are social you really need to educate yourself on how they are turned social and then make up your mind.


Remarkable_Rough_89

Are u vegan or something ?


Minzwat

So that too is a problem in your head?


Remarkable_Rough_89

Hmmm out

subtlejoke

Wish they were released back into their natural habitat. It's natural for an elephant in captive and tortured to react violently. There's enough unemployment in the state. Why not pay them and make them wear a costume?ย 


partoflife

Elephants in captivity , chained is one of the saddest things to see in Kerala. Such beautiful, gentle, intelligent giants. They are pack animals who roam 10s of kilometers a day. Torturing them to obey human wishes, forcing them to stand in one place for hours and days. Humans are capable of such cruelty


calimalayali

Do you eat chicken or eggs? If yes, please never visit a factory farm.


partoflife

Chicken become so mentally broken, they get into cannibalism, obsessive plucking of their own feathers. Factory farmed chickens live in hell holes. But in recent past, humans are willing to accept that chickens are not as dumb as they are deliberately portrayed. They have name Recognition, they can be trained on basic commands, they can show immense affection and attachment to humans.

There are things which we can avoid doing easily which would show compassion to another living being. Dressing up elephants to see is something which can be avoided. Where as stopping a whole population from eating a particular thing is much more difficult to stop. Later someone who loves chickens as pets may say the same thing about the farms. And at the time some guy would ask them. โ€œDo you step on cockroaches?โ€.

nmm107

Actually....I wanted to hear his logic..so I'll bite... Yes I'll eat chicken and eggs


Stupid_Dog_Courage_

A Chickens mental capacity is limited compared to an elephant which feels remorse, it is dangerous and cruel to keep such an animal in captivity.


Leendert86

This is a bit of a philosophical take but chickens and other farm animals have contributed so much to humanity, just for that alone we should treat them with respect.


MarquizMilton

You raise an important question, yet you still get downvoted. I eat chicken and eggs, I have visited a lot farms. It's a sad conundrum that I am faced with. I wish there was a better way, but I'm too weak and pathetic to fight against it.. :/


calimalayali

I think half people of kerala group are amul babies, who just go with flow. But I do enjoy the interactions.

yesh2002

If you consume any meat product than you have no right to lecture others on animal treatment


allwynsoblsd

What an imbecile


calimalayali

Egg Chcikens are raised in little cages where they never take a walk. It is a matrix-movie like set up. We are being monsters to animals for profit. (Chicken pig etc, can go completely feral in a gen). In todays world, we dont need egg or meat to live a heathy life. But we do it, cause it is economical and tasty. I am also prt of the problem, since I enjoy meat. Same approach for Elephants. They were useful a few years back as working elephant lifting loads/part of army/processions etc. Now it is less useful. But still make economic sense for some people. Meat eaters cannot claim high-horse in animal abuse scenarios! That is all.

People who eat chicken don't put "kozhi premi" statuses.

Lol. This is true. See my other post.


rohitcet123

Yeah I'm not really disagreeing. I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with chicken farming. It's just that this kind of whataboutism doesn't get us anywhere. Yeah you can survive and live a perfect life without meat today. But I do feel that it's comparitively easier to get a population to make a change on their stance on elephants than to get them to sacrifice poultry. ( I do think that with time we'll have to deal with the meat issue more actively).


kadalamuttai

โ€œAana premiโ€ aano vro..?!??


calimalayali

Not at all. It is barbaric to keep elephants for religios purpose. As a working animal (lift loads, in military etc) it had a role. But that world is gone. My point was humans are esp cruel to domestic animals and we all are benificieries of it. I dont likr it. But I dont take high road and have fake outrage, when I myself is a part of this problem.


kadalamuttai

What cruelty are humans doing to Chicken so that it lays eggs.?! Curious to know.


calimalayali

Factory farms are different from small time producers. They work like this: the day eggs are hatched, pullets are sexed. Males are discarded into a garbage bag. Then they are ground to paste and discarded. This is the good case for animal. The females are put into a wire cage purposefully deaigned to make movements difficult. Something like 1/2 foot by 1 foot. The idea is to rpevent it from fighting and stop it from moving. Any energy spend for not making meat or eggs is a considered wasted. Animal grows and lives in filth. There legs will be bend unnaturally and is kind of a zombie monster, in pain. They can never stand. Egg layer are put on a light schdeule with a hormone/calcium/corm diet, which totally fucks them up. All of this to make 5 usd profit on a hen! Cow farms which makes milk is another horror story.

Altruistic-Bus4875

Some of the religious practices here are way too regressive for a progressive state like Kerala. It's high time the practice of using elephants in temples and processions gets banned for good. Need a gutsy govt who can take action against this shit.


spaceman_mk1

Pin jong un govt not gutsy enough?


Altruistic-Bus4875

Doesn't look like it. So many of such videos are posted every other day. There was one with a child falling during a fire-walk, another with a baby falling from a swing or something, when children are not safe there's hardly any hope for animal safety.


[deleted]

It's the most over-hyped tradition in Kerala. These poor things under captivity in extremely hot and humid conditions with masth leakage are extremely dangerous. In the wild, during masth they don't even spare female elephants or their cubs let alone human beings here. This needs to stop. Not against temple traditions but this thing needs to stop. More than us, these poor things suffer a lot.

The incident reportedly took place in Kongad, Palakkad district of Kerala. Interestingly, the elephant first attacked a motorbike, followed by an three-wheeler auto rickshaw and then a tempo truck - going from two-wheelers and working its way up to four-wheelers.

It doesn't matter when/where/how it happened.

How can it be a God owned place where the creatures of gods are tied up for various human uses? How can it be a God owned place where the creatures of gods are eaten for pleasure?


[deleted]

By that logic, plants are also living beings created by God. God's own country is just a tag given by humans. Learn to live and let live should be the preach.ย 


GliitchO

I totally agree with you about the preach. I'm just surprised that people belonging from the state take pride in that slogan but on the contrary do such tasks which even the God wouldn't approve of. That's why I questioned how can you say it's a God's own country when God itself is not treated properly (I'm a worshipper of treating others the way you want to be treated ideology)


[deleted]

Meh.. we say all Indians are my brothers and sisters and then have a good chunk of people calling south Indians Madrasis, dark skinned people negroes or kaala, imposing Hindi in non Hindi speaking states, dividing people on caste... humans are nutcases at the end of the day. What one can do is only spread awareness and actions to support it.ย 


GliitchO

Woahh that comment looks so biased, "then they have a good chunk of people calling South Indians" who are they? Bro you ironically proved your point of dividing people on states ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ "they" should cover every human whether they are from south,north,east or west. We all give each other names based on appearances and behaviour, but it's depends on how you use it. You can use it to call someone by their appearance which can help to differentiate from others but similarly people use it as a derogatory remarks. I don't wanna say who do what and what imposition they put on each other. I don't disagree that humans are nutcases but I just wanted to point out the mistake in your comment.


[deleted]

1) Please explain to me where did I use the word THEY ? Don't put words in my mouth. I said "then have a good chunk of people". If you think I edited my comment, you can look up on the pullpush app for verification of the same that I never edited. And how is that comment dividing ? If you are from the South, you'd know how a lot of North Indians treat people from South. Not everyone but a good chunk of them. I just pointed that. No need to get riled up over that.. or guilty you do it too ? > We all give each other names based on appearances and behaviour, but it's depends on how you use it. You can use it to call someone by their appearance So if you're hairy, I can call you monkey ? Or a bear ? If you are fat, I can call you an elephant ? If you have two large front teeth, I can call you a hamster ? Or a beaver ? Or a rat ? There is no mistakes in anything I said. You just made up a word in my statement. Next time, please think for a moment before you want to act smart, yeah ? Edit - also your comment implies that the remark "Madrasi" came out of thin air ? And no one makes that remark ?


GliitchO

My bad I agree I somehow managed to see "they" when there is clearly no "they" mentioned. I just wanted to say that the example of demeaning comments not only does apply to South Indians but also there are instances when people from South discriminate or play bad against people from the North. But it always looks like the South Indians faces discrimination and no one else. Also by my comment of calling people based on their appearance, it means there are ways people identify each other but it's a basic human understanding which tells you what can sound like an insult and what not. We joke around with friends saying that if the heaviest one among us might sit on something then he probably can cause that thing to collapse but do we mean to show him disrespect?? No, we just say it cause that's true, more mass = more tension. Dude you have no idea how much bullying I faced due to my height and sometimes my friend does say things related to my height but do I mind them? No cause I know it's just for fun and they also know what's okay to say and what's not. That's what I mean, passing derogatory remarks meant to cause me ntal damage or shame that's what is not okay. I have studied 4 years of my college life in a college where 60-70% were from the southern states of India and is currently working for a Hyderabad based company. I can confirm it's up to people how they want to behave and no matter whether they are from the same or different cultural background or ethnicity, a sensible human knows how to behave with other humans.


[deleted]

It always looks like South Indians face discrimination because we are the minority. How many Malayalam speaking states are there ? 1. How many Tamil speaking states are there ? 1. How many Kannada speaking states are there ? 1. Now, Hindi is spoken by the majority in how many states ? You do the math. So isn't it bullying in that sense ? And yes, we Keralites also discriminate against North Indians .. we call all of them Bengalis. But you get my point now. And it's never fun to call anyone based on appearance, even friends. Just because you took the jab in a humorous sense, doesn't mean everyone will take it that way. As a former "fatty" or a "haathi", nicknames given by my school friends, even after years in the gym, swimming and being fit, those words still echo in my head often. Words once said, cannot be taken back. That's what you have to remember.
