Here is a link to another elephant attack video. I didn’t activate the link because there are some adult oriented advertiser links on the page. The attack show early stages of a male elephant attempting to get his handlers and riders off of his back. I remember this happening to me early in my career–scary.
Anyway, the attack escalates, the crowd panics, and there is graphic footage of the elephant killing at least one man and throwing him around. You can also see how he knocks down another elephant.
The tape is long and on a loop. My point in sharing this tape? People are increasingly forgetting to respect animals for the creatures they are. Wild animals are creatures who have tremendous power and the capacity to do serious harm. Just because they are trained does not mean they are tame.
