Is it a tool used to disembowel rodents?




I am posting the image here so I won't have to keep clicking back to page one of this thread.

Nope. Look at the gold part of the handle.

I think the animal on the handle (looks like a dog) is misleading us - it's an elephant handler's prodder.

Correct- It's called an ANKUS.

Elephant hide is thick and tough , and I think they just prod and scratch with it. It doesn't harm the animal, but the animal feels it.

It does look like a very brutal instrument though doesn't it ?

Yes it does. It looks like it could easily slice right through the elephant's hide (despite the toughness of the hide).
