PJPom Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 There are frequent reports of rubber tappers and Farmers being killed so their claim is correct. Elephants in the wild are unpredictable and it’s wise to keep away, of course some people protecting their crops try to scare them away with bad outcomes for both involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly , going by the bank truck lottery number death nonsense, there is probably a whole bunch of lottery winning number seekers asking what position the leg landed !
