It was the fifth case of an elephant dying in the same area in the last 15 days, but it still didn't make news. After all, in a world where terrorists are indiscriminately killing hundreds and cruel boys are throwing dogs off terraces, an ailing elephant dying is not news.
But a video has emerged of the incident that paints the event in a different light. The video that surfaced on social media has been widely shared.
The baby pachyderm is moving around his dead mother, crying and guarding her. The calf tries in vain to wake up his mother. According to reports the crying baby kept trying to wake up his mother for seven hours.
The viral video left most people teary-eyed and some angry at the state of affairs too.
Now, if this doesn't move people then nothing will.
