Another elephant, a single tusker, was found shot dead at the Sellankandal Forest Reserve in Puttalam yesterday, Wild Life officials said.
They said that they suspect the elephant could be around 30-years old and might have been killed a day before yesterday.
A man who had gone to the forest to graze his cow had seen the elephant carcass and had informed the Wild Life officials.
They said several gunshot wounds had been detected on the carcass.
The autopsy into the elephant’s death is expected to be conducted today.(Hiran Priyankara)

Before long, this country will lose its core wildlife attraction. We need a really strong task force to counter this menace.

Not a good sign for UNP as the elephant is its symbol

Could be a planned one to gain a politicle mile by a bankrupt politician.

Who got the GUNS to kill these tuskers? Are they killing them for fun? No, there is a purpose, and they are well protected by their 'masters' who may be linked to the illegal IVORY TRADE.

Prevent further encroachments into protected areas. Politicians are the proponent of this practice over the years to obtain votes. Wildlife will disappear in a decade if this trend continues.President/ PM must take leadership to protect this rich resource.
