Maybe the woman hurt the animal’s feelings? Hah!

Has the elephant “lawyered up” yet?

Amd somewhere in America, law students are salivating at the prospect of building a lucrative career around suing the pads, paws and claws off of members of the Animal Kingdom.

True.

I hear incidents of anti-elephant hate speech are WAY up world-wide this year. Something to do with some election in the U.S. last fall.

If Cass Sunstein gets his way, that could happen.

I guess I would stay away from the elephant. Sounds good to me.

The elephant had better be a liberal. LOL.

The zoo, however, ruled out the possibility that the elephant threw the stone.

Why would they do that? I saw an elephant at the zoo here in Oklahoma spray mud from it's trunk onto a mom and her kid. It looked like it had a smirk on it's face after it did it.

We used to cut school in high school and go drinking beer in Central Park. One day we wandered into the monkey house, and my friend Kenny started taunting them through the bars. One monkey came close and spit a big gobber onto him.

That was way more fun than stupid school!

This doesn't surprise me at all. I have studied elephants in the wild and can attest to their intelligence and sensitivity; they are very expressive animals. That said, I have also seen elephants in captivity do things to people that are downright shitty seemingly to amuse themselves. Elephants have a somewhat crude, juvenile sense of humor.

This is why elephants shouldn’t live in glass houses.

I went to a carnival probably 40 years ago and watched as an elephant blew its trunk at a young man who was harassing it. Poor kid was close enough to get a load of elephant mucous on himself.

This reminds me of a skit from the Carol Burnett Show. A rouge elephant went on a crime spree and they hung him.
