These people act like the elephants are pet beagles. The guy on the right still setting there after the elephant had hit the other fellow. These are the type of people raising sand about hunters killing poor, harmless elephants. I simply do not get it.

I think its often been proven that wild dangerous animals show mercy on people when they could easily have killed them had they wished to! But of course one can never be too sure!

Call me chicken but I'd of been moving for cover about the time that bull came into the dining area. That elephant could have pressed the attack from a show of dominance to deadly in a second.

Buggered if i'd be sitting there with my back turned !!!!

Bloody idiots, but they were Irish !!!

On reviewing the footage on my big screen, they seem to be feeding the ele, you can clearly see something thrown out in front of him and he picks it up and eats it , then moves upto the table!

And they are drinking G&T by the look of it!!!!

Yup, I noticed that too. Both the guide and the clients need their heads examined. Also agree with the above statement that these are the same sort of people who will cry when a "named" lion is shot....convinced that nature is a Disney film.

Noticed the one guy was wearing a Global Rescue ball cap. He may have needed them after that encounter. What morons....

Yep that will make a great commercial for Global Rescue. These people were just plain clueless.

Check him out...you can see the exact second he decides he has a mission in that direction! If you look closely...especially his trunk in...he's actually going out of his way not to hurt anyone, but he really wanted something!
