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.
