BANGKOK, Thailand — An angry circus elephant in eastern Thailand grabbed a man who had provoked him and then stomped on him until he was fatally injured, police said Saturday.
Surat Kaenthip, a 30-year-old air conditioner repairman, had hit the six-year-old elephant while he was resting in an open field Friday in Rayong province, 90 miles east of Bangkok, said police Lt. Col. Thanit Saeniwong na Ayuddhaya.

Oh, sure, that's what they say
now but I betcha there was a back massage sign, 6 rupies, next to that elephant before this happened...
(when good business ideas go bad)
Oh, fine, sorry about the poor humor, and prayers and thoughts for the family, but when you provoke a 4 ton animal, you run the risk that perhaps it might notice that you weigh, you know, like nothing, and stay crunchy in milk.

I hope the elephant gets prosecuted. Sounds like one of those hate crime to me.

The rumor was it offered a turnip to the elephant.
I truly understand the elephant's reaction to all this.

Well... you could just take your A and run us over... oh, wait, no more Ava... *sometimes I just make myself laugh*
To: Lakeshark; nicmarlo
The turnip's awol today... too good for us... :) whoops, I turned on her
To: Borax Queen; nicmarlo
Ava was last seen burning very expensive high octane turnip bio fuel that should have been from Alaska as the elephant stomped the poor guy.
Heh heh heh......
