00:00Can you imagine your mouth being exploded by a bomb and that too if there's a child in your stomach?
01:00In Kerala, one elephant is killed every 3rd day and that too in a temple.
01:10They take them on a parade in the sun and if they get scared and roam here and there, they are killed at the same time.
01:21They keep them and take insurance.
01:27And then they put needles on them so that they get gangrene and then they die and take insurance in their name.
01:36They put rods on them and drown them in water.
01:41The elephant is a schedule 1 animal.
01:44The elephant should not be in the hands of people who beat him like this.
01:48Now this elephant will die in the next one week. Every week an elephant dies of beating in Kerala.
01:54They should sack the chief wildlife warden. They should now arrest everybody in Malappuram who they suspect because these are repeat offenders.
02:05Whether it's children being sold in orphanages which we have found, it is Malappuram.
02:10Whether it is people being killed, look at the crime rate in Malappuram.
02:16What is being done in Malappuram? Nothing, nothing. Now the communal conflict there is highest in Malappuram.
02:24No? We take so much action against other districts and we manage to cure them.
02:32What is wrong with taking action in this district? Now can you imagine your mouth being
02:37exploded by a bomb and that too if there is a child in your stomach?
02:42The point is that the forest secretary should be removed. The minister, if he had any sense, should give his resignation.
02:49He is from that area. Why has he not? Rahul Gandhi is from that area. Why has he not taken action?
02:56See, asking anything from the Kerala government is stupidity.
03:00They don't want to listen, they want to keep quiet.
03:03Tomorrow another elephant will be killed and then we will go to the elephant.
03:09The question is that this is the mistake of the Supreme Court.
03:12A case has been lying in front of the Supreme Court for 7 years.
03:16All the NGOs of the country have together requested the Supreme Court
03:21that after listening to this case, we want the elephant to be removed from every temple,
03:26the elephant to be removed from every private ownership.
03:29Less than 20,000 elephants are left. Only 800 males are left.
03:35Now 800 males means that after a few days, this population will end like a lion.
03:41So, the Supreme Court should have given a ruling that this is an animal of Schedule 1.
03:50In any country, an animal of Schedule 1 cannot be owned by any individual.
