Photograph: Str/EPA [quote=The Guardian] A wild elephant gored a man to death and injured several other people during a five-hour rampage through Mysore in southern India after farmers chased it from a field outside the city. Residents scattered as the young male charged through the city streets attacking vehicles on Wednesday. It turned on the victim in a doorway in an alleyway and gored him as residents looked on. The elephant later charged towards people who took cover on top of a staircase, and lunged at a car on a main street. Several people were injured during the five hours it took to tranquilise the animal, officials said. The elephant was one of four that had earlier entered fields on the outskirts of Mysore after becoming separated from their herd, Press Trust of India news agency reported. Farmers chased the animals, sending two of them back into nearby forests. One of them was later trapped at a farm, while the remaining elephant entered the city. Hundreds of people die in India every year when wild animals wander into cities searching for food due to shrinking habitats. India's protected parks face massive encroachment from people who live and forage, or graze cattle in the forests.

This is no fucking news. Humans do this to Elephants and their communities all the time. I have no sympathy.

The elephants acted like assholes when they attacked the cows though

Gored him? What exactly does that mean?

Somebody find George Orwell.

And I'll leave it at the fact that this human has a family who is probably in tears because this elephant killed him off. But of course, being an animal lover, your probalby going to bring up the argument of elephants having families too. I can't argue against your opinion with mine, so why bother? I agree when it happens to an unmoral elephant hunter, but an innocent, unrelated man? That isn't right. You sir are being a jumpy asshole.

Not being disrespectful, but it's rather interesting to see animals this big and strong fuck up stuff (not necessarily humans though).

This isn't only due to shrinking habitats. Back in the day when humans weren't hunting elephants with the ferocity we are now elephants taught their young that humans weren't dangerous, but seeing as we're killing the older elephants, a lot of younger elephants aren't taught this, so they view humans as threats. Not only that, but a lot of young elephants witness their parents being killed by hunters. It's not actually uncommon in Africa for elephants to attack villages during the night without provocation.

Sounds likr the premise of a B-Movie

That elephant should be transported to the United States and be made a police officer. Looking at the news, he has an outstandingly low record for innocent civilians killed.

What a beast.

Here is another case where a elephant goes crazy. Although this is worse: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVaVp12WI0A[/media] India seriously need more wildlife police. Took them 3 hours to stop the elephant.

Is it shrinking habitats or is it simply time for musth?
