out of control elephant, horrific

[Contratrombone64]

OK - so I was sent a link to this and really found it totally stressful to watch. Then, once I got over the shock I thought ... the elephant is a wild animal, they are simply not tameable.

If you have a weak constitution - DO NOT WATCH THIS, you have been warned.

Hey CT64,

Awww, you've got a soft spot for pachyderms - Ain't that sweet ray:
Yeah, those giants can 'freak-out' when you least expect it...No offense, eh?

Cheers,

You have to feel sorry for the man, but the elephant was clearly very upset. I agree with you CT, they are wild animals and should not be tamed and expected to perform.

The guy who was beating the elephant's nose with that pole wasn't doing the situation much good either. If someone banged on my nose with a stick, I would get more upset, too. :crazy:

I totally agree, Lars, I'd have stood on him too (though I don't weight 2,800 kilograms).
