PETA captioned their post, "this is truly some of the most disturbing footage you'll ever see. An elephant was lit on FIRE and killed in India. By the time the forest department found him, he was bleeding from his ears and critically injured. This tragedy occurred because humans invaded his home. Arrests have been made and @petaindia is calling for more action."
