Still. Human life > Animal life. Anyone that disagrees is a complete idiot.
Someone should of either killed that thing or tranquillised it the moment it picked up a bloody large rock.

Why? On what inherent truth do you base that?

Oh god. My condolences to the family. Not a way you would expect someone to die.

No one wants to go into an argument on ethics with the guy who has the flag of a group of eco-terrorists.

Everyone, I think it's time to call this what it is. This is clearly a radical elephant terrorism problem. We need to deal with. I propose banning elephants from the country.

Well if we are specifying ethics than it comes from society.

We must build a wall around the elephants. Err a taller wall.

Animals dont exactly have anything over us.

I mean it sucks, but freak accidents happen.

Elephants have been fighting back against humanity for a while actually, and they're losing pretty badly. But they know what they're doing. They aren't dumb animals. In Africa and India they sometimes cause quite a few deaths when they go on a revenge rampage. They'll lose a herd member and decide to go attack a human village.

I wouldn't call this a freak accident. The elephant probably knew it was trying to injure or kill the girl.

That's not how Nationstates discussions work, as you should have learned by now given your warning history.
You don't get to issue blanket statements insulting people for the mere act of disagreeing with you. That is called flaming, and is in violation of the site rules.

How big was the rock supposed to be? There is just no way that someone would die from being hit with a rock unless the elephant could chuck it as fast as a damn baseball pitcher or the rock was large enough.

Elephants are intelligent and social which means that will play with objects around it - which I assume it was doing in this case. I doubt it actually aimed the rock at the girls head (I could be wrong

)

Its probably a good reminded that good clear space needs to be maintained between domestic humans and wild animals but it does seem a tragic freak accident that noone could have foreseen

It's just sad that zoo's are allowed to have intelligent animals like elephants kept inside 4 walls.

Erm, what? You know that rocks can crack bones, right? And that they have been used as lethal, hand-thrown projectiles since the dawn of man?

That's horrible and yet, sounds like one of the coolest ways to die.

I guess a lot of people take for granite safety windows.

That elephant really rocked her world.

Guess her and that elephant had a rocky relationship.

by **Llamalandia** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 4:18 pm

Umm...do elephants normally behave like this? I mean I have to wonder if the girl or perhaps more likely others were doi something to piss off the elephant. Tragic but it seems weird that if this elephant normally believes this way no one at the zoo thought to do something to protect the public. If it didn't normally behave this way, then it seems weird it would just start chucking rocks one day.
