  1. Lets stop bothering elephants. People with cameras probably look lile people with guns to an elephant. Would you leave a vehicle to take a picture of a green mamba? Why would you do that to gwt a picture of a bull elephant?

  2. I am told the elephant actually ate the woman’s head and upper body. This is very unusual behavior for elephants. I have heard of them eating some animals like gazelles or small Cape buffalo during droughts but I have only heard of an elephant eating a human only two times before this. I hope the authorities can sort this out before another elephant attacks someone

  3. First, humans are invading their home & second, poaching runs rabid-its the humans who are at fault. Period.
    Secondly, this is “charging” ?? When reading articles about this, I assumed the “violently aggressive beast” (as described in one article) went at the vehicle at full force. Looks like a game of slow speed chase & then he tips the car upside down like he’s looking for a snack under it.
    Regardless, condolences to the family.

  4. It attacked after invaders invaded its space, bothering it with engine sounds and camera flashes. I'm surprised the media didn't label the animal a terr0r!st.

  5. I blame the stupid Driver for the death of this lady, Why did he not drive them away from the danger that i could see was apparent.. he actually stopped the vehicle, There were moments when there were pauses, that gave the driver the opportunity to drive away from the situation, but he did not… I supposed that he wanted to give the tourists an adrenaline thrill by daring the Elephant. Shouting shoo! shoo! at a 3 tonne Elephant will really scare it away???. I have seen how lax and careless a lot of these guides behave, it does not give me any confidence to go or take my treasured family on any safari anywhere.. Very often these guides are just local idiots who cannot get gainful employment else where, hence they become Safari guides. I was in Sir Lanka when our bus driver deliberately slowed the bus down to allow a wild elephant to approach the vehicle for food. the animal started to rock the bus whilst the idiot drives laughed and grinned… the passengers and myself went ballistic on him, calling him every unholy name under the sun. Just search social media platform and you will see precisely what i have commented on.. They all do it..

  6. I've been on Safari and whale watching. They have actual laws preventing boats from getting to close to the whales, and even preventing boats from watching the whales for too long. They need to do the same with these Safari's. It was inevitable that someone was going to get hurt.

  7. ❓According to the guide driving the vehicle, he “ couldn’t get out in time”. How did he expect to get out in time when he purposely STOPPED THE VEHICLE❓❓❓ Yelling “hey, hey, hey” to a WILD elephant 🐘that doesn’t know commands nor does he understand English obviously didn’t help! 🤦🏼‍♀️

  8. I do not get why the driver did not honk the trucks horn non stop (or maybe there was not one????) and there is no way that elephant has not attacked a truck before-it just knew to use the tusks to lift it and toss it aside!!!!
