Yet another temple elephant dies.

This time it is 58 year old Elephant Gandhimathi from Nellaitappar Temple.

Whatever be the age of the elephant they all coincidentally die because of illness.  No one knows what illness. 

Next in line is the ones at Madurai and the other ar Srirangam.  I don't know how many more though.

Any probe done in such deaths?! Never heard of.  Have you?

If someone gets killed then it is "told" as the mahout got killed.  No one verifies if the person was a mahout at all. 

Or it is told that the person was a relative of the mahout.  No one asks what business that the relative of the mahout has to be near the elephant? Is the administration so bad

Lives are being lost. 

In a judgement Justice Mr. GR Swaminathan writes that he was near the elephant feeding them.  When i read that judgement, my spines chilled.

Everytime i see these elephants "blessings" kids and adults in the street, i get shivers in my spine.  

These majestic creatures are not cats and dogs or for that matter cows.  A friendly push from them, out of love, will be fatal.

But well, how do I know as the elephants don't talk to me isn't it!

The question is how many more elephants and humans are we going to lose! 

Only God knows. 

Every deed of us has a result. It is called Karma.
