I have always found curious why elephant prefer to get on their knees and use their head in a rather clumsily way when they could simply stomp anything down with their front feet.

That's terrible.
We need more tusk control laws.

There was something wrong with that buff before the attack.
Looked pretty sickly to me.

I agree with Bwana Cecil. Looked sickly. I wonder if that cow had a calf nearby that we couldn't see.

Makes me wonder how long it will be before that elephant is attacking cars full of tourists.

Did that buffalo have a name?

Is anyone protesting at the office the elephant works at?

Where is PETA in all this?

That was a very thin and sick buffalo. It didn't have a chance at escape. Looks like out of hopelessness it tried to defend itself at the last moment but was way out gunned. Strange that the elephant appeared to have charged from a good ways off. Very over aggressive elephant. I have seen where an old domestic cow crossing a small creek channel fell down as she started uphill to get out of it. The downward inertia of her own weight took her down and she never got back up and died right there. This old buff was in that same kind of condition.
