What FACTLY found
The person in the video is not trying to feed meat but was feeding coconut to the elephant. The man in the video is Nabeel Kunhappu. When Nabeel first fed the elephant a coconut, it did not respond violently. Seeing this, his son too came forward to feed the elephant coconut for the second time, but this time the elephant attacked them. This viral video was taken when the elephant attacked them while they were feeding coconut for the second time
