Veterinarians Treat Wild Elephants Injured by Wire Snares in India
Wild elephants in Coimbatore and Assam were treated by veterinary teams after being found with wire snares causing deep injuries. In Coimbatore, a female elephant aged 8-10 had an iron wire cutting into her left forelimb, which was removed under sedation. In Assam's Raimona National Park, a 25-year-old female elephant sustained a severe trunk wound from a wire snare, treated with wound cleaning and antiseptic care. Both cases involved coordinated forest department efforts to monitor and aid the animals.
