For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video A video clip showing a group of workers trimming an elephant’s tusk in Kerala, a southern state in India, has alarmed animal rights groups. Artisans can be seen cutting, sawing and shaving the animal’s tusk, using old and rusted tools. During the entire process, the elephant keeps lying on the ground, frequently gasping. The video was shot at Thiruvarattukav, near Attingal of Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala on November 6. Such trimming is done to remove broken or damage part of the tusk.

@guestuser16714 years ago I don' t get this. Yes, there areowned" elephants in india and indonesia who are horribly mistreated and are in dire need of rescue and a good home.

@sara92716 years ago Tusks don' t have blood flow nor a root so it probably can' t feel pain through it. I imagine the elephant is a little sedated otherwise it probably would be a risk to those around it. 17
