Villager crushed by rampaging wild elephant

A 37-year-old male villager was stomped to death by a wild elephant early on Sunday morning in Tambon Lam Nang Rong in Buri Ram province.
 

Following the discovery of a dead body at 6am in a rubber plantation near the entrance of Ban Sub Khaning village in Noen Din Daeng district, the police investigator Pol Lt-Colonel Waiphot Suchakhreekul along with rescue workers and a medical examiner went to inspect the scene.

 

 

They found the dead body of Suwat Wongwiset, 37, near his bicycle amid some elephant footprints and several broken banana trees. 

 

It was suspected that a male wild elephant with a single tusk, which roamed near the Dong Yai wildlife sanctuary and had fatally attacked some villagers before, was responsible for this latest death.

 

It was suspected that the elephant, driven out of forestland by drought and food shortage due to the sanctuary’s increasing elephant population, had started to intrude on farmland and Suwat happened to run into it, leading to fatal attack.

There is a very easy way to stop charging and raiding elephants. You put this on your phone and boom  the elephant will stop in its tracks.

Sounds of bees  .  .  .

If you're so convinced, you surely want to take the test for us, don't you?

I have done extensive testing on much bigger African Elephants thank you. It works.

The system has only started being used in Kenya recently, 2018, on a commercial scale. Skeptics are amazed that the system does in fact work, saving elephants, farmers and their crops.

Think there are enough bears buzzing around looking for honey here but it may work better on slow elephants whilst you get your phone out and make the trunk call ????
