Revenge of the Elephants

FYI,
1: Are you sure you're really studying SUMATRAN rhinos in a "uneversity" for years and years when you can't even spell their name or UNIVERSITY correctly?
2: They aren't extinct and you call them "extinct specie like this"?
3: The elephant have no way of knowing that the sumatran rhino is critically endangered.
4: Black rhinos dont hunt down elephants on purpose, they attack out of fear, confusion and panic. They have poor eyesight and will hence charge at anything they think as threat.

over years and years of researching in uneversity i have studied about the sumatrian rhino which this elepant had killed, cruse and shame on this elphant atacking a extinct specie like this, and right now in africa elephants are having the same misery.. getting hunted down by the non other strong,fast,firce and #1 elephant hunter THE Black rhino himself along with lions and heynas

I see it more as a poisoning than them being "angry." (Their behavior in musth would never be the same if they weren't in musth.) ... but I wouldn't say it's correct or fair to put "elephants in musth" and "elephants not in musth" into the same category at all. That only represents 50% of the population ever and then bulls are only in musth for a short duration compared to non-musth. They're very loving, emotional animals with unpredictable intense murderous outburts.

If you're refering to the musth as "bouts of rage and can be vindictive" I disagree ... it is hormones and causes the elephants intense pain/digust so they lash out at anything. They aren't exactly "gentle giants" but they are capable of feeling extreme and deep emotions like love and are no more vindictive than humans. It's understandable to want revenge when they feel they've been wronged. They're so dangerous because they're capable and know (like humans) how to do the most damage.

Yes!! Thank you for educating yourself about elephants and the abuse they endure! Tyke came from Hawthorn Corp (John Cuneo) - google Hawthorn and read about his elephants

Actually, that is not exactly true. Despite Elephants' portrayal as gentle giants, Elephants are not as friendly as many believe. They can experience bouts of rage and can be vindictive. Elephants are very dangerous, and no other animal, not even africanized honeybees, causes more carnage when angry than the Elephant. Bulls take more than 300 lives annually while in musth!

HI! I checked youtube and the part of the footage of Tyke's rampage and death is here. Just search for Tyke the circus elephant. There are also more videos on elephant abuse. Watch them.

Once I started into researching animal issues I found out alot about elephants and their societies and how they are breaking down due to humans. I watched this program and also read about these elephants, do research on the internet and you won't believe it. Ck PETA and all humane organizations. Search google for TYKE the elephant and read her story. She was a cull orphan from Africa. It will really open your eyes.

fishmarc, I didn't know of this, where did u take all that info?. Thanx.

This video is about elephants that are orphans of culling done by park officials during the 90's. They have Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (per scientists)from seeing their families killed before them and being tied to the bodies of their mothers as they were butchered. Some of the young were returned to the wild without the elephant society that they depend on. Where do you think circus and zoo elephants come from? 10 MILLION AFRICAN ELEPHANTS 100 YEARS AGO/UNDER 160,000 NOW.

I agree, one of the most depressing things I've ever done is visit a zoo.

You must consider living in a jail "being treated ok" then. I can pamper you in jail, the fact is that you're still living in a jail. Animals are beautiful and happy in the wild, fighting for their survival. Zoos and domestication serve US.

yes but they can turn from calm to angry even when they are being treated okay

i like the fact that its all matriarchal, baby!

STAND UP FOR ELEPHANTS PEOPLES!!!!!! Elephants DO NOT attack any animal, unless it harms he/she's herd. or relatives. Elephants are GENTLE!!!

only indian elephants can be domesticated, African elephants r never "gentle"

so what happened in the end? did they resolve the mistery? upload the whole video not just half of it.

We are about every breed actually, it has more to do with our S**t education system then genetics.

that's scary. wouldn't want to make them mad. 'specially the females.

I didnt know about that Jeff Corwin part :P Imma go check it out. Other than that I think elephants are gentle in nature, I mean males only get aggresive during musk or something.

Plus Elephants isnt evolved to live with Humans so it could be unpredictable what it might do near Human contact.

We can all agree about the horror they go through in inhuman care. I mean wild Elephants. You don't want to end up in sight or smell of a heard in the wild, especially males. And as for the gentleness, not entirely. Jeff Corwin (see video on YT) got thrashed and injured about because an elephant was "playing" with him.

Thats wrong. Elephants are pretty gentle. Ive seen some people have a close bond with elephants, bathing with them in the river and cleaning them. Ever heard of "An Elephant never forgets?" Yeah, I would be angry and mad too if i was in chains and in a circus.

elephants also have a natural hatred towards lions, it is undetermined with this is though

yes they are a rather stupid breed

why do ducks have webbed feet, too stomp out fires, why do elephants have flat feet, too stomp out burning ducks.
