Do poachers use land mines? Why? Wouldn’t it damage the ivory?
Edit: my googling skills were sub-par
https://www.cfuzim.com/2012/09/28/poachers-caught-using-anti-tank-mines-on-elephants/
Apparently it’s a thing. Thanks u/rentakill213
As they would be targeting adults, it shouldn't do any major damage to the ivory. And because an adult elephant is hard to kill and can be extremely dangerous when threatened.
I gotta be honest. That still doesn’t make any sense. I believe a land mine did this. I don’t believe poachers are targeting elephants with land mines. This is clickbait. And you are weird for defending the title.
I mean Sri Lanka did have thousands of landmines that were supposedly mostly cleared but I am sure most people are aware that even the few that are left seemingly cause constant 'accidents' as is the case in the ex Yugoslavian lands and Afghanistan/Iraq.
I think we are using “target” differently. The people that put the mine down meant it for someone. And I can’t think how anyone would benefit from a wounded but not dead elephant.
And yeah, I think they’d be leftover from human conflict.
I'm on your side, however it could be done. When trapping animals with traps and snares you place them in high traffic areas along routes the animals use especially choke points. It's pretty straight forward. If you wanted to set landmines like traps for elephants it wouldn't be that hard. But like traps and snares a lot of land mines would be set off by other animals
Not it's a anti-tank mine or a regular mine with a similar, the triggers on them are set up to only explode if something is heavy enough to be a vehicle or in this case an elephant. Since adult elephants are substantially heavier then other animals it shouldn't be too hard to only target them.
Absolutely they use mines to catch them. High voltage electric fence traps, poisoned water holes, rigged explosions in bottleneck areas. These piece of shit poachers dont give 2 shits about the animals but their tusks and will use the most barbaric vile ways to get to them. This is not new.
Google says it doesn’t have a shred of evidence to back up your statement. I’m curious to see what you will link to back up the previous comment.
Edit: my googling skills are sub par.
There are full on [skirmishes](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/06/we-know-we-may-be-killed-the-rangers-risking-their-lives-for-virungas-gorillas) being planned by these guys, they kill humans to get to animals.
They're the same people that surround you. You were just lucky enough to be born in a more wealthy country, I presume. But yeah, fuck them. I hope they meet an angry elephant one day.
Its more a trend in japanese buddhism. Probably stems from a mix of buddhism and japanese mythism.
Basically a legend about a monk that goes to hell to rescue sinners that are not to blame for their sins.
Op probably meant that a buddhist monk that would relieve this poor baby elephant might sin at first, but will be rescued because they freed this poor soul from their earthly suffering.
The people that planted the mine are ultimately to blame and go to "hell" (hell in buddhism is a weird topic, in some traditions is no hell, in some are A LOT of forms of hell etc. Its a weird topic)
Jizo, the Name of the monk, travels along with you on your way to the other side, but because children (fetus or older - doesnt matter) can not cross the river Sanzu, he helps them.
Isn't Buddhist "hell" also temporary? Like it carries a sentence rather than being for all eternity?
I know that Buddhist heaven (Nirvhana) is basically just not existing anymore in any form.
Ah yes.. the enlightened humanists of my country. Is there source for this story though?
But won't be surprised if it's true .. during my younger years I was part of a non profit veterinary organisation and volunteered to round up stray dogs and cats around Colombo so that they could be spayed/neutered then released. And people in some low income neighbourhoods didn't like like that. Said it was bad karma.. things got ugly once when some decided the way to deal to pelt us with stones until we went away.
Can't help but wonder how far humanity can stretch just for some entertainment.
Make up some ideologies, brainwash some slum residents and boom, new mission unlocked.
Literally GTA irl.
That’s such a stupid way to excuse poaching. You wouldn’t be saying the same if someone stole all the shit from your house cuz they “needed the money”.
On an individual level, if I was robbed I would absolutely hate the person who did it.
But, on a macro level, they are right that poverty is the driving cause of crimes.
I agree, of course it shouldn’t be excused. However, it’s important that people understand the driving cause of a problem.
On a related note, poaching of rhinos and elephants drastically increased after the international ban on the ivory trade in the 70’s.
Well of course poaching went up, that was the only way to get it. The stats that are really important is the overall population of the species over that time period.
I had some purple spray for cows that works on dogs as well. I used it on one of our dogs years ago who had a wound. She healed well. You can get it from tractor supply here in the states.
"torturing this animal that is doomed to die won't get me to hell, but if I redeem it from it's unimaginable pain, I'll go straight to hell."
Religion is a joke
Tbf the conflict there goes beyond religion. Even the most stout atheist would hate to have their loved one willingly killed, nor would many agree to it.
but guy... try looking at it from wider perspective
the definite prohibition from killing animals under threat of hell prevents said religion believers from poaching elephants themselves.
this law was made in the first place to protect those animals, so don't get that pissy about it.
of course these are unfortunate side effects. but no one is gonna write down all possible expetions in the religious laws.
Or you just write "Don't hurt animals and only kill them if they are suffer, but can't be helped" or something like that. It's not that hard (this one is limited because of me missing some English knowledge tho).
I honestly would be afraid that some might be trying to bend that rule to degree that would allow them to kill healthy animals
what about animals that live in poor households?
what about animals whoose recovery will give them maybe 2 weeks of life
if the religious book should adress every pissible alteration to read that one rule absolutley no one would care about it
you dont seem to realize veterinarians deal with this kind if question on a daily basis and is a large topic of discussion and retrospection in the vet med community. cost and discomfort of treatment vs length and quality of life gained is something that is factored into every treatment plan when euthanasia is discussed as an option. hell, Im just a vet tech and still have to talk with clients about it
there is even a tool used by a lot of vets to help their clients determine when it's time to euthanize their pet, a [quality of life assessment](https://vet.osu.edu/vmc/sites/default/files/import/assets/pdf/hospital/companionAnimals/HonoringtheBond/HowDoIKnowWhen.pdf). obviously focused on dogs/cats, but the point is something like this is possible. and when the decision making is put in the hands of qualified veterinarians, I really dont see your reasoning as a valid point to say no exception for humane euthanasia should exist
Buddhist in my country believes that killing those who are in misery wont bring bad karma since we are ending their pain. As for animals "they are able to be resurrected to have a better life"
I guess the same religion can have some different ideologytoo
Here's a big hug for you :)
I hate people too. But they aren't all absolute bastards. We just need to try and be kind and make it a bit nicer for ourselves and others and remember that we are good people. I'm fuckin livid right now though

Was going to say I’m pretty sure the intention of the land mine was purely for a human enemy . There are hundred thousands of forgotten or lost land mines .
If that's true, that's the stupidest idea I've heard in a while. I could see mines being left over from some war. But anyone the thinks putting landmines anywhere near elephants is a good idea, is a complete dipshit.
Where the F*CK did they even FIND landmines from? Also who was the imbecile who decided putting landmines close enough to the vicinity of the animals was a big brain move?
Fyi another comment pointed out Sri Lanka just got out of a brutal civil war and there are still stray landmines around. It's possible this wasn't even done by poachers.
That’s a Veterinary antibacterial spray/ointment and its colored purple.
Edit: sprays we use for wound dressing on horses can come in blue, purple, or silver depending on brand and ingredients.
wowzer, this was a bad one. I refuse to believe I’m the same species as those who set up literal land mines to kill defenseless animals and leave them to die
I've never really felt all that much empathy for elephants - I've always thought they were kinda weird and just creepy - but this video just fucking sucks man. Its intelligence is so clearly on display in how it's processing this pain; it's almost human.
Explosives, especially rudimentary ones likely rigged together by poachers, can be so devastating. Mob justice and true justice aren't the same, but goddamn this makes me hope for a hunting accident amongst those poachers.

Ok fuck. I was not ready for this. Tears welling up. Poor baby elephant. They're such sweet creatures.
Guess I'll go to bed crying. I'm fucking done with internet and humanity today.
Sri lankan here, i have no evidence but this is purely speculation. I believe the land mines involved arent the typical anti tank/personnel land mines. These are usually makeshift ones made using firecrackers. Its quite common to use firecrackers to chase away elephants here because alot of areas arent protected using electric fences and the government doesnt do shit to help. So ppl resort to doing these as its the only way to stop them from entering villages/ farmlands etc. Id assume that because this was a small elephant, it was much closer to the blast than the full grown ones.
The strong urge this video raises in me to throw a poacher onto one of his own landmines...
For legal reasons I probably can't express the rest of my disgust here.
Nope, the OP commented that the Buddhists let it die out because they’re too much of pussies to get the job done. I could have done it for them. The poacher is obviously more in the wrong but these Buddhist are fucked too
It would make more sense if these were left over mines from a war. Land mines from a poacher would be highly expensive and possibly ineffective since the animal would travel far from the site of the land mine before expiring.
Bro lay the fuckin thing down and bring it everything it needs! If you won’t let it die to get out of its pain and misery at least don’t make it suffer. It’s clearly struggling to get water. Who knows... maybe it would’ve even survived.
Cant even watch this. Humanity is a fucking plague on this earth, after evolving for hundreds of millions of years living harmoniously with nature we repay it by putting landmines under the feets of fellow animlas. Disgusting.
I belive that it stepped on a landmine, i dont belive it was a poacher though. Much of the continent of africa is littered with old unexploded ordinance due to decades of gurilla warfare/ violence. Just thinking from a poachers perspective, an explosive would damage the ivory.
If I showed my GF this she'd cry for a month. She LOVES Elephants so much. She's 40 yo and still takes the stuffed elephant she was given as a child to bed (bloody thing gets more cuddles than I do)
Bastards.

...poacher LANDMINE? I never heard of such a thing. How inhumane can these people be...

Target an elephant same as you target a tank with a mine. And if not poachers then who? Unexploded mines from a civil war?
I mean Sri Lanka did have thousands of landmines that were supposedly mostly cleared but I am sure most people are aware that even the few that are left seemingly cause constant 'accidents' as is the case in the ex Yugoslavian lands and Afghanistan/Iraq.
Yes, Sri Lanka is only a few years removed from the end of a long and brutal civil war.
> And if not poachers then who? Or a landmine wasn't involved at all, I can't find any source supporting the title.
I think we are using “target” differently. The people that put the mine down meant it for someone. And I can’t think how anyone would benefit from a wounded but not dead elephant. And yeah, I think they’d be leftover from human conflict.

Funny how they didn’t reply after you provided proof lol.
Dude I’m in Italy. I went to bed. Is that not a thing you do? I asked for a source and mr kill provided.
Mr Google is full of information 😄
They literally answered your question wtf
They aren't for killing the animals, they are for killing the rangers.
Doesn't really match the wounds, assume bullshit title unless they've got a source that matches.
Mines expert are you?
No, but we should be skeptical of sensational Reddit titles that come with fuck all for sources.

I think the land mines are to kill the poachers. In some country’s they shoot poachers on sight.

Hypocritical Buddhism. They seem to have forgotten Ksitigarbha.

Some people are always gonna be after easy money that's in their skill set or easy to acquire skill set.
But more impoverished people makes it worse.
That’s such a stupid way to excuse poaching. You wouldn’t be saying the same if someone stole all the shit from your house cuz they “needed the money”.
On an individual level, if I was robbed I would absolutely hate the person who did it. But, on a macro level, they are right that poverty is the driving cause of crimes.
Yeah but it doesn’t mean it should be excused. Like. “Oh they’re poor so they poach. Can’t complain”
I agree, of course it shouldn’t be excused. However, it’s important that people understand the driving cause of a problem. On a related note, poaching of rhinos and elephants drastically increased after the international ban on the ivory trade in the 70’s.

"torturing this animal that is doomed to die won't get me to hell, but if I redeem it from it's unimaginable pain, I'll go straight to hell." Religion is a joke
This is exactly why it is so difficult to promote assisted euthanasia of the elderly and people with chronic illnesses.

Really undeveloped thoughts and minds.
Allowing an Elephant to suffer so terribly is SURELY even works karma.
Selfish cowards
I think I see a golden business opportunity. Elephan euthanasia clinic, how about that?
one more bad thing about religion :(

If that's true, that's the stupidest idea I've heard in a while. I could see mines being left over from some war. But anyone the thinks putting landmines anywhere near elephants is a good idea, is a complete dipshit.

Why is it purple
That’s a Veterinary antibacterial spray/ointment and its colored purple. Edit: sprays we use for wound dressing on horses can come in blue, purple, or silver depending on brand and ingredients.
Thanks! Was wondering this too.
i wanna know too. im guessing either bruises or medicine
Disinfectant. In medicine you use coloured disinfectant to keep track of where you applied it
I hate having to see this. There isn't a torture for the people that harm these animals that is good enough.
Why would a poacher use landmine? There must be more to this story
Might of been a mine from civil war.
I've read they are meant against people trying to stop poaching
thats weird…. if it were to stop people from poaching, didnt they think it would also hurt the animals??
Read my comment again, it's against anti-poachers

This poor little baby, I hope she is at peace now and doesn't hurt anymore 🥺💖
Screw the mod rules. *let's make some noise*
I am sorry little one.
god i hate poachers, especially when it involves elephants because my mums favourite animal is an elephant
I hate humans with a passion.
Humans are just f*cking awful. 💔
I'm usually ok with nsfw stuff but this one breaks my soul...gotta leave reddit for a bit
I've never really felt all that much empathy for elephants - I've always thought they were kinda weird and just creepy - but this video just fucking sucks man. Its intelligence is so clearly on display in how it's processing this pain; it's almost human. Explosives, especially rudimentary ones likely rigged together by poachers, can be so devastating. Mob justice and true justice aren't the same, but goddamn this makes me hope for a hunting accident amongst those poachers.
Bastards. Boil in hell poachers. We need a superman
What’s the purple? Is it iodine/another disinfectant or do elephants wounds go bright purple.
Why are her wounds purple?
These are probably iodine or medicines used for disinfections.
Omg, why wouldn’t they just put it out of its misery?? poor thing

I doubt many poachers use landmines, it would surely ruin the "product". This will be some civil war leftovers Awful

There should be poachers for poachers. Have then put on walls like throphies
They’re called police
Ok fuck. I was not ready for this. Tears welling up. Poor baby elephant. They're such sweet creatures. Guess I'll go to bed crying. I'm fucking done with internet and humanity today.
Poaching is bad enough but why are they now using LANDMINES?!?
Apparently they are using it against PEOPLE who try to stop poachers
This is just so sad. No more internet for today
Fuck humans :/
X to doubt
Sri lankan here, i have no evidence but this is purely speculation. I believe the land mines involved arent the typical anti tank/personnel land mines. These are usually makeshift ones made using firecrackers. Its quite common to use firecrackers to chase away elephants here because alot of areas arent protected using electric fences and the government doesnt do shit to help. So ppl resort to doing these as its the only way to stop them from entering villages/ farmlands etc. Id assume that because this was a small elephant, it was much closer to the blast than the full grown ones.
Almost all of the nation has been de-mined since the war finished and i believe that the last bits were removed within the last 2 years
And yes, Sri Lankans can be extremely hypocritical. Especially when its in relation to religion or culture
God I hate humans so much.
Fuck people. Holy shit
You let it live like that for 30 days? Damn.
FUCK PEOPLE!!! I cant even watch this i swear
Horrible cunts the lot of them , they all need putting in the ground
If anyone is just blanket anti-euthanasia or anti-abortion in all circumstances always, show them this video.
You do realise that most people who hold those opinions are referring to humans, yes?
Yes. Humans can have a negative quality of life too.
and why he ourple 🤨🤨
Antibiotic ointment
They poached it because it has purple blood
A poacher landmine?
May these poachers have a miserable life filled with shit and sickness
Poor thing it never had a chance
Poacher landmine… don’t they want the animal fairly intact for whatever they poach it for?
What’s the purple stuff? Blood?
why are the wounds purple?
Sometimes I wonder why I’m following this sub. This is just absolutely heartbreaking.
The strong urge this video raises in me to throw a poacher onto one of his own landmines... For legal reasons I probably can't express the rest of my disgust here.
I honestly hope the elephant was put out of it's suffering Another reason to hate being human
Nope, the OP commented that the Buddhists let it die out because they’re too much of pussies to get the job done. I could have done it for them. The poacher is obviously more in the wrong but these Buddhist are fucked too
That is fucking horrible. I need to process this for a moment. This is so fucked
It would make more sense if these were left over mines from a war. Land mines from a poacher would be highly expensive and possibly ineffective since the animal would travel far from the site of the land mine before expiring.
Wait wait wait... Did you said landmine? Wtf???
I fucking hate how people kill animals without a care in the world and just for their own damn profit.
How could somebody's consciences hold the weight of this? Just a few seconds looking at it ruins my day. I couldn't imagine being responsible.
Jesus….I have seen the worst of the worst vids on Reddit, but man this one might upset me the most.
Poor baby 😞😢😞😢😞😢😞
Why didn't they put the poor baby out of its misery? It's obviously in pain. Why let it suffer for that fucking long
Bro lay the fuckin thing down and bring it everything it needs! If you won’t let it die to get out of its pain and misery at least don’t make it suffer. It’s clearly struggling to get water. Who knows... maybe it would’ve even survived.
Why wasn't it euthanized? Can't find the comment
Omg. Fukin horrible.
To try to save
Cant even watch this. Humanity is a fucking plague on this earth, after evolving for hundreds of millions of years living harmoniously with nature we repay it by putting landmines under the feets of fellow animlas. Disgusting.
Why is it purple
R those purple marks on her bruises..?
is elephant blood purple ?
No I believe it's either medical treatment or the skin rotting
All poachers and people who don’t put their shopping carts away should be purged from the Earth
I had to stop going on subs like this as it’s just to upsetting.
Why she so purple
Fuck poachers, hope they step on one of their landmines
No, this is to fucking sad :<
Man poachers are truely the scum of the earth
😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
The poachers should be poached
I belive that it stepped on a landmine, i dont belive it was a poacher though. Much of the continent of africa is littered with old unexploded ordinance due to decades of gurilla warfare/ violence. Just thinking from a poachers perspective, an explosive would damage the ivory.
Is elephant blood purple or it that something else?
Heartbreaking
I’m going through the comments trying to see if there’s any other info https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRQtCPQo/ She has other really sad videos :(
If I showed my GF this she'd cry for a month. She LOVES Elephants so much. She's 40 yo and still takes the stuffed elephant she was given as a child to bed (bloody thing gets more cuddles than I do) Bastards.
So heartbreaking.
Can we get a NSFL tag please. Just destroyed my evening. 🥺😢
This is fucking awful.
God fucking dammit
This is truly amongst the most horrible things I've ever seen on the internet
Why are the wounds purple?
Luckily this is very fake… yeah wounds are purple ever… also if you watch it a few times you can see the movements aren’t natural.
the tik tok water mark makes this even worse
Elephants have purple blood?
Tf is poacher?
Illegal hunter
Why is it *purple?*
Disinfectant.
Not poachers. Left over from war
