The Department of Wildlife Conservation is investigating the shooting of a she elephant by a policeman at Galgamuwa in Habarana last week.
Sources said the mother was guarding her baby, which had been run over by the Colombo- Trincomalee bus at Galwanguwa on the Habarana-Trincomalee Main Road on May 28.
Some police officers and Wild Life Department officials who had arrived at the scene attempted to chase the mother.
The Minneriya Park Warden said the elephant had tried to attack the Wildlife officials and some civilians when a police officer attached to the Habarana Police Station shot the elephant.(Darshana Sanjeewa)

Are these idiots competent enough to handle situations like this, without harming the elephants? This is the second time that this type of incident has happened in the recent past.

To destroy our national heritage is a act of terrorism. And these people should be treated as such. Before we loose our elephants.

So called intelligent mammal's extraordinary brain work. No natural instinct of animal behavior.
