Elephants Given A Befitting Send Off After Being Electrocuted By Electric Pole In India (Photos)

A mother elephant and her calf both perished after becoming tangled in electrical wiring....


Hundreds of mourners gathered around and put flowers on the elephants. 

A calf had initially got stuck in the live wires before the mother came to rescue her calf and also died..

The dead animals have also been brightly decorated with flowers as part of the send-off.

Elephants are revered as sacred god-like animals in India, and this certainly proved true as two of the animals were colourfully mourned by a community.
