webfact Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Death of an elephant causes anxiety among villagers at Khao Kluaymai village By Thai PBS CHACHOENGSAO: -- Residents living in a village next to Khao Ang Rue Nai wildlife sanctuary are worried that they will be blamed for the recent death of a bull elephant, suspected of being electrocuted, and they are demanding concerned authorities to quickly find out the actual cause of the jumbo’s demise. The bull elephant, aged about 20 and weighed about 3 tonnes, was found dead in a sugarcane plantation close to the wildlife sanctuary in Khao Kluaymai village, Tambon Klong Tapao, Tha Takiab district of Chachoengsao on July 18. Its trunk got entangled with a barbed wire of a fence which was connected to a 12-volt car battery. The barbed wire fence was built around the sugarcane plantation and it was connected to a car battery as a deterrent against trespassing by elephants in search of food.

tonray Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Not sure a car battery can kill a full sized elephant unless it was also connected to an induction coil to step up the voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracker1 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hmmm more like 220v and quick connect the 12v battery ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwbrown Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm sure the elephant experienced some anxiety too, as he was being electrocuted. Hey farmers: It's the national symbol of your country, figure out how to avoid killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
