This news is making rounds over social media. People are questioning humanity. This act of human cruelty has embarrassed entire human fraternity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) and Chief Wildlife Warden Surendrakumar told PTI; \u201cHer jaw was broken and she was unable to eat after she chewed the pineapple and it exploded in her mouth.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>People are demanding strict action against the culprits, who have done shame to humanity by carrying out this inhuman act.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, people are sharing an old video on Twitter to teach the lesson of humanity, which is the sweetest thing you will see today. A beautiful video of the generosity of a young <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbettnationalpark.in\/corbett-elephant-safari.htm\">elephant <\/a>has also gone viral again in which a small elephant jumps into the water to save a \u2018drowning\u2019 person in the river.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The video shows a herd of elephants walking by a river while a man was enjoying a swim in the water. The baby in the herd, thinking the man was getting washed away, entered the water and reached the man in just a few seconds. The man, who appeared to be scared at first, soon realised the elephant\u2019s intention and said \u2018thank you\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is sad when animals often show more love and compassion for humanity than we do\u2026 think about that! \u201cAnimals have far more compassion and understanding than humans. They have a complex range of emotions, but somehow don\u2019t have a lot of the negative ones we do like judgment, self-pity, hatred, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSome even truly said that animals have far more compassion and understanding than humans.
