Spanish student dies after being attacked by elephant in Thailand
Blanca Ojanguren García. Photo: Federación Hípica de Castilla y León/Facebook A Spanish student has died following an encounter with an elephant at a sanctuary in Thailand. Blanca Ojanguren Garcia, a 22-year-old who was studying Law and International Relations, tragically lost her life while participating in a bathing activity with an elephant at the Koh Yao sanctuary on Yao Yai Island. The incident took place during what has become a popular tourist attraction in Thailand—elephant bathing. In a sudden turn, the elephant used its trunk to knock Garcia over, resulting in severe injuries. Efforts were made to rush her to a nearby hospital, but she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. Both local Thai police and the sanctuary itself have confirmed the details of the accident, prompting the sanctuary's temporary closure. Initial reports erroneously mentioned that Garcia had been gored, but this was rectified by Spanish news agency EFE, clarifying the nature of what transpired. Present at the incident were around 18 individuals, including Garcia's boyfriend, yet no others were injured. Originally from Valladolid, Garcia was completing her studies through a six-month program in Taiwan, having studied at the University of Navarra. She was on track to finish her undergraduate degree this year. Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been involved, with their consulate in Bangkok maintaining communication with Garcia's family. Her remains have been transported to a hospital in Phuket in preparation for repatriation procedures. In response to the incident, Valladolid Mayor Jesus Julio Carnero expressed his condolences to the family. Thailand is home to roughly 3,500 elephants, with about 2,800 involved in tourist activities, according to animal welfare organisation World Animal Protection. While elephants are generally gentle, they may react if they feel threatened or protective of their young. This incident underscores the need for continued discussions on ethical wildlife tourism and safety measures to prevent similar occurrences. It serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of wildlife behaviour and the importance of ensuring safety for both visitors and animals in tourist interactions, reported Daily Mail Online. -- 2025-01-06 -

Yes, Virginia, Donald J. Trump WILL be the first convicted felon to become U.S. president
I gave no opinion -- I just quoted one of the top election law specialists in the country who has been on this case as it was ultimately an election law case: Were the payments to Ms. Daniels a personal or election expense. -

It would be foolish to offer detailed predictions. However, overall it's completely obvious that his priority is helping billionaires over everyone else including his core base who will likely get the opposite of what they voted for in things like food prices. As far as deportations he will be obligated to make a big fascist show of doing something cruel and dramatic and may even include civil war inciting actions such as sending national guards to cross state lines under protest of the invaded state's governors, but overall the billionaire class does NOT want actual mass deportations as promised. Bad for business. Also the COST of what he has promised is not even close to being realistic.
