Mot Dang Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I really hope it pulls through a 50 yo pet elephant doesn't deserve to go that way. They are a beautiful animal, very self-aware. It would have been very frightened. Too bad that Grizzly spray is not sold in Thailand. However spraying it into the face of a rampaging wild elephant is another thing. P.S.If the elephant received serious wound on the stomach, why are they pointing to its head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he may be pointing to show everyone that it's an elephant ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
