Several instances of humans helping or rescuing wild animals can be found on social media. But along with that, shocking videos of people disrespecting these animals can also be seen. Case in point, a clip posted by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan about such disregard of the nature is enraging netizens.
Posted on Twitter, the 36-second-long clip shows a biker recklessly riding past a tusker. The road behind, is seen to be blocked for the elephant to pass. The biker escapes serious injury of being hit by the elephant by mere seconds.
Kaswan shows his irritation regarding such rash behaviour in his tweet. “Even after blocking the road by staff this person decided to cross it while others were waiting. Just missed by fraction of a second from becoming a memory,” he tweeted.
Kaswan also posted a message of caution requesting everyone to never attempt such an impulsive feat.
Posted on February 7, the clip has garnered over 26,400 views and shocked reactions from netizens.
