i just read something about elephants getting into trouble.
i found it hilarious.
it said that due to human encroachment on the animals habitat, these elephants somewhere were getting into confrontations with the locals in incidents like getting stuck in electric fences, drinking liquor, destroying homes and even killing people.
to me, destroying homes sounds like a social problem! "i am not going to talk to your father, he's out there kissing a drunk elephant! this marriage isn't working.. it's either him or me!!" ridiculous accusations to make against elephants.. but we all know i have strange thoughts and not a good grip on reality.
in this place, 239 people had been killed by elephants, whilst 265 elephants had been killed in retaliation.
it may be just me, but i wouldn't retaliate against an elephant. it's just an animal. it's not a cereal killer... although if it was, it would be the best there ever was at 239 kills! say an elephant, horror of horrors, stood on your scaletrix, ruined it forever. would you then say "that's it mate, you're dead!"? or would you think 'well, i shouldn't have been playing scaletrix in the jungle'. i didn't even enjoy scaletrix, because if you went to fast the car just came off the track! i would just undermine it.. "well done mate, ruined the scaletrix for everyone. tell you what.. how about i come round your house, see how you like it?" then he would feel bad.. and maybe make you a carrot cake to say sorry. there is no need to kill him, think of all the carrot cake you're missing out on. stupid people.
