When Good Pets Go Bad - Elephant Goes Nuts!

[villezlovrgrl666]

MOTHERFUCKERS!! looks good on all them getting hurt .... poor elephants

[Me0uchify]

Pets? There is the first problem, elephants aren't supposed to be "pets"

[angelgirl7473]

Tantrum huh.... Lets tie that guy by a leg with a chain.. cant move, always have to sway back and forth ALL day, have the trainers beat him behind the legs if dont move fast enough.. no food.. no water..see how he likes it.

[beproudtobebipolar]

They should take all of the elephants to Africa and let them go free.

[MrTailsprower7]

how is this not illegal their abusing the poor things

[Mugenlazlo]

It's a good thing that Debbie & Frieda are at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennesse.

[Me0uchify]

@Mugenlazlo Lets get Lucy from Edmonton, Alberta to Tennesse!

[Mugenlazlo]

@Me0uchify Really? Who is this Lucy you speak of?

[Me0uchify]

@Mugenlazlo Lucy is the elephant at the zoo in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her health is very poor and the zoo and the city is refusing to let experts come in and properly diagnose/treat her. Not to mention her 'keepers' have been written up (but NOT fired) for hitting her when she pees or eats a branch. It's sad :(

[Mugenlazlo]

@Me0uchify I see.

[gotch09]

Let me get this straight-I'm going to beat and abuse you for years on end, and then I'm going to shoot you for lashing back?

[lizzy19680]

@gotch09 exactly, they are abusive when they train them, use them as 'show things', and wonder why she had a 'tantrum' as clearly the officer even said, 'she was upset with her surroundings',, true although he did shoot her, but sounds like he wasn't happy about having too :(

[MrRavindramysore1]

nice

[MotherEarthswarrior]

It would be safer for humans and the elephants if they were wearing a paralyzing device around them that doesn't hurt them but just keep them from being mobile. rather then breaking them down the torture and pain.

[lizzy19680]

@MotherEarthswarrior Why not carry tranq guns instead of having had to shoot her to kill... poor thing :(

[angelic0707]

animal rights propaganda.? really.? @ whomever made that claim its a known FACT that circus animals are abused. hell even taking a wild animal out of its habitat is considered abuse. if the animal had a mental condition her treatment there OBVIOUSLY didn't make things better. elephants are gargantuan, we are fools to attempt to tame and expect no retaliation.

[Kalesta]

When elephent go berserk, they need to die. When humans go berserk, they get a nice warm room in a prison with a bigger televison I have.

[iTellyoueveryting]

Puh, I'd do the same damn thing if I was that elephant.

[obsoletefloppy]

Why the hell do they keep sending Janet back to the job knowing her nature?

[lizzy19680]

@obsoletefloppy Well they won't now. This being an 'elephant' cost her her life, :(

[BulkDude]

This video is full if animal rights propaganda. This video contains footage that is 10+ years old and has nothing to do with Janet's case. Janet clearly had a mental problem that extended deeper than anything the circus could cause. Elephants have been used for centuries for transport and rides in their natural habitat. There is nothing wrong with that and it didn't drive her mad as this video states.

[lizzy19680]

@BulkDude This isn't her 'natural habitat', this is or started inside as a very closed in area, and did have a tantrum. She didn't have mental problems and whether ten years or more ago doesn't matter, people are still using these animals for this and that's the point, IF THEY STOPPED DOING IT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE TRAGEDIES LIKE THIS...

[1alyssaapple]

@lizzy19680 I would agree to that. But it was the trainers to blame not the elephants. You can't trust trainers.

[honkyschlonk]

@BulkDude i hope u aware of the nonsense thats comin out of ur mouth.

[fortworthhomegirl]

Animals are getting tired of being treated badly. We must change the ways we treat our animal friends.

[DaSurge26]

wouldn't being on the top of a rampaging elephant be the safest place to be?

[Mugenlazlo]

@DaSurge26 No, that is too dangerous.

[GayorgVonTrapp]

I hate these stupid bloody commentaries that state the obvious. Bloody tosser at the start.

[nodollarsign]

Yeah it really seems that JABBING A RAGING ELEPHANT WITH CHILDREN ON HER BACK WITH A DAMN PITCHFORK WILL HELP THESE SITUATION (6:04). HOW do we get these animal abusers out of business?

[nodollarsign]

How would you like it if someone yelled "Hey good job buddy, hit him again!" at whoever was hitting you with a bull hook. I admit to fantasizing about striking these animals abusers with a their own weapons of oppression. 

[honkyschlonk]

@nodollarsign ever heard of sarcasm wtf???

[nodollarsign]

An elephant is not a fucking pet. 

[angelgirl7473]

elephant threw a Tantrum.. thats all...if that guy was chained by one leg and couldnt MOVE around as he wanted to and stay in that one spot 24hrs a day,i think i would go mad to!

[kgteen]

crazy people they let children on top of elephant the elephant they don't like children ride them on top of their head stupid people.

[Spoinkification]

y did circuses feel as if they needed animals in their performances. It's much more humane to go to one with no animals in it, so the elephants can walk along the wide open plain like they're supposed to

[tubedude101]

why do you have to shoot it Id rather let the elephant kill the people instead

[tharangafo]

@tubedude101 ya then innocent people+kids will die who did nothing wrong aginst anyone ...nothing we can do need to put down that big girl ...then i just hang the circus owners & let those animals go ...

[510psp]

the show should be changed to "reactions from abused animals"

[CiPi121]

Circus with animals is a crime.

[MultiFreakilicious]

This Actually Made Me Cry! Those Poor Elephants. If you were an elephant,or any type of animal you wouldnt want to be kept in captivity, jabbed with pitch forks, slapped for no reason, hit with sticks, being shot at or having people on your back all the everyday! You would want to be free in the wild were you belong doing what you want when you want! I know some animals are in captivity because they are going extinct! Thats the only reason animals should be in captivity NOT for our entertainment

[abe22891]

That elephant didn't go nuts, that elephant went elephant.

[11301920]

If people would quit going to the circus this would be forced to stop.

[gretschjazzer]

At least they tell the truth about the abuse the elephants are subjected to. Anyone who gets caught in an elephant's path at the circus and is injured, deserves it.

Do NOT go to the circus. Stop this madness of enslaving animals for cheap entertainment. It's disgusting and uncivilized.

[trev358]

Does anybody know where to find the full, uncut footage from the second incident shown here (involving Janet the circus elephant)? I'm really looking forward to finding it someday.

[RosieeLovesMT]

Can you really blame the elephants? I mean look at them! The trainers hit them with whips, dont care about them & force them to wear those outfits, its not like they enjoy it! This is proof that elephants dont like being in the circus & truthfully, I dont blame them at all. They dont deserve to be treated like crap like their trainers do.

[c4662]

@RosieeLovesMT Hey Rosie

I agree with you fully

Cyrus

[RosieeLovesMT]

@c4662 :D

[schmedler42]

Terribly sad...love how the elephant destroyed the staircase tho...that should signify how intelligent these creatures are...

[ger1ist]

when I see how these elephants get treated it makes me sick and that is the reason why I never go to the circus! Why is it that there are no laws protecting animals from abuse!

[TheGoJohnnyGo]

Fuckin People who go to a circus

[ltrainblume]

How could you kill an elephant?! THAT IS SO MESSED UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[dolphinsneu]

@ltrainblume That was his only option. Officer Doyle became extremely anti-circus after this horrible incident.

[ltrainblume]

@dolphinsneu Sorry. Couldn't help it. I don't like it when death happens upon animals. It's too emotional and I am not being crazy. It's not my fault that I get angry, sad, silent or depressed when an animal dies. Plus, I've seen a lot of animal incidents on Untamed and Uncut.

[Bombe443]

Fucking idiots ~_~ killed a beautiful animal ):

[tommyson22]

she just fell down and died my arse!! you fuckin shot her!

[clinthudson1226]

the circus is hell on earth for the animals

[blognewb]

@aybitchdontdodat You're so brave behind the computer.

[curvaciousMammi]

Poor elephants. People are dick suckers

[JohnnyKubark]

This is what happens when you torture and imprison innocent animals for people's entertainment.

[blueberrynuts]

Too bad no humans were killed. Rats!

[TheDrPollux]

2:24 "even my ass hurts !!"

[MrRbarak]

its not the elphants fault its the stupid trainer. i kinda pointed out the obvious...

[F1guy1]

Myke Tyson sent me here :)

[Nagamangos]

It continues to amaze me that people take the side of the animal nearly every time. Regardless of how we treat animals, they are still animals and innocent PEOPLE don't deserve to get seriously injured or killed. The same people that cheer for the rampaging animal go to McDonald's and order dead cow in the form of a Big Mac. I'm not saying they're wrong to eat cow, it's just that many of them are hypocrites. Have you ever seen the last days of a beef cow before it gets slaughtered?

[blognewb]

@Nagamangos You're an idiot BECAUSE you didn't even get the point that the elephants here were being ENSLAVED FOR "ENTERTAINMENT" purposes. These are animals in the WILD in the jungle, where they belong, not as clowns.

[NawticJ]

@blognewb You are right. Not to mention the literal mental illness that results in these animals...very much parallel to the way a normal human would behave if forced to be around abuse and mental illness i.e. rocking and swaying constantly.

[clinthudson1226]

i ask myself "why,why do the circuses beat and torture animals like that?" it's not just the elephants who are beat,tigers and bears and lions and every other animal in the circus is abused. those animals need to be freed now don't let suffer!!!!!!!

[Steroidfreak81]

Circus should be banned and trainers should be shot..in the face and suffer a long aganizing painful death

[aqinthe]

@aybitchdontdodat haha. That would be a different attack video.

[BLANKNOTING]

All New!

"When Good Pets Go Bad"!!

Coming Soon!!....

[trev358]

Clips of this incident appear in the Animal Planet special "Headline Attacks".

[callypee]

Marauding Beast....don't you mean a tortured beautiful animal, fight for what is right?

Prick.

[jaxdaman999]

fuck us. why are we such asshole

[presstrigga]

some people are very retarded, i hope that elephant attacked all those people that worked @ da circus. Their just asking for trouble, human stupidity at its best.

[brendalilkubby]

Animals or Children Should Be Abused! Every person pays for what they have done...either sooner or later

[Mr2505federal]

There not pets there wild animals and she is the matriarch  and she is just doing the same thing she would do in the wild! You cannot surpress the intinct of these animals and guess what the elepahant is killed all for entertaintment purposes!

[Skelm49]

@Mr2505federal This elephant is too young to be a matriarch. And inside a circus there si no matriarch as that means to have a family. These elephants are often sold on and loose their mates.

Elephants in a circus but also a zoo with no space is one of the saddest things on earth.

The other sad thing is the fact that they are being wiped out in the wild by poachers, trophy hunters and agriculture development to feed more and more people.

No Sympathy for the stupid mother.

[vampyregirl100]

@Skelm49 Poaching has been cracked down on and trophy hunting is regulated. Loss of habitat is still a problem though.

[666DANZIG]

It's quite funny really if you pretend that Kathy and the kids were controlling Janet the elephant during the rampage

[lizzy19680]

@666DANZIG There's nothing remotely funny about this video, and if you think it's funny then you have problems... This poor beautiful creature lost her life because of wanting to be who she was meant to be... a free wild animal!

[1alyssaapple]

@lizzy19680 Yeah and I won't laugh to that stinkin' bull crap!

[jacquelinebridge]

Let's solve these problems and STOP ABUSING THESE ANIMALS. If people care at all of them you shouldn't ever go to an animal circus

[PrinceoftheTwilight]

Shame on that motherfucker for killing her. The passengers were off and safe, and the tent was empty. There was no reason to kill her.

I'll add this to my list of reasons as to why I hate cops.

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

These anamals are wild and so belong in the wild. Not in some for profit side show.

[MsFreighttrain]

circus's should be banned

[MrDbdk]

the trainers are fuckers!!!animals are free not slaves!!!!shame on you!!!!!!

[MrDbdk]

the fools!!!!!!!elephants are no slaves.are free animals!!!!!!!!

[GUNB00M]

STAMPEDE!!! RUUNNN!!!!

[LCbabyxO]

LMFAO ROFL! I never knew elephants were considered pets? Such bullshit. I hate the circus. So corrupt.

[trixiedixie2011]

@LCbabyxO ....Yessss i agree with you. Elephants as pets?!!!....ridiculous, they are only a show piece for the friggen circus.

[LCbabyxO]

@trixiedixie2011 people are ridiculous -.- i don't get why they think wild animals are "pets".. so stupid

[marcos78211]

Filhos da maior puta dava-lhes cabeçadas e pontapés na boca a estes cabr~es que tratam asim os animais. filhos da puta da puta da mãe deles...

[varga84]

I am a circus performer. I have never trained or worked with animal,but i see every day how some of the trainers treet there animal. I am totaly aganst animal act!!! Animals are for the nature and not for zoo or circus!!! My only problem is that all of u sais that THIS IS Y I DONT GO TO CIRCUS!!! So what about us??? We are working hard to enertain you people! Circus is an art! Is not only about killing animals! So please continue come to circus. We have nothing to do with all that crap...

[dolphinsneu]

@varga84 we'll come.  As long as there aren't any animals.

[damonfillion101]

no shit it will go nuts like come on they killed it, it was bet up man like come on

[equarg]

Good news...these elephants are now in the elephant sanctuary in Tennessee, even the elephant that got "angry".

She is now an happy elephant.

[ljbain5]

I'm against circuses AND zoos..animals are not here for our entertainment. And since when did amusments parks decide THEY could take care of animals..Good God.We are a sick society

[r211285r]

work stress for the elephants!!!!!!!!!

they don't do these playful antics by natural behavior as always as we thought could be. for us it is just one day in the circus. but for the animals it is an uncertain world with full of people and crooked freedom. respect them as we respect ourselves. we need to be proactive for our future generations !!!

[lahij]

prophet muhammad much respect all animal, all prophet much love respect all animal has free life, stupid world now

[lahij]

world has much bad thing like spain doing fun bull , africa kill elphant, china eat any animal, america much not respect any animal, that why world blame islam?????????????????????????­?

[sehoujay]

lol trainer went to the officer and said you gonna have to shoot her! that's a first! you usually have the animal owner begging the officers not to shoot animal (monkey, dog, elephant, lion, horse, whatever)

[equarg]

The elephant was lucky. She died relativity quickly quickly with a bullet to head. I saw another that died by over 35 shots!

As a hunter I will never ever hunt Elephants, Apes (or monkeys), or members of the whale family. They are too intelligent and are proven sentient creatures. Elephants grieve their dead. They are intelligent. You would snap under the same conditions.

[equarg]

Any Good Mahoot will tell you that if you abuse your elephant they will remember and when you least expect it, they will bash your head into the ground when you least expect it!

You must become the elephants friend and master!. Be firm, but never unjustly use the bullhook. Give gentile reminders, be persistent till the elephant does what is told, but never dig in. Reward your elephant! in doing so the elephant will become your willing friend for life!

[chocolatescoffer909]

:'( this is so sad! honestly,"when good pets go bad" this is just f***iing,just like omg!i hate these people!they say that an elefant is a"good pet" and that this one has"gone beserk" "its crazy" "we need to shoot it".well,actully its not the wild,beautifull,amazing animals that are crazy,its the humans!theyr the ones that need to be shot!and they say its a "happy" circus till the animal goes mad,but no,its not happy,its a crime scene and anyone involved are criminals.

[gingerbiscuit17]

how can they all the poor elephant a beast..surely the people are the beasts for going to see an animal suffer in that way and keep them in such horrid conditions..its just sick.

[MrRandomnezz]

i don't blame the elephant at all she had every right to throw a tantrum

[21Sarabi]

I don't agree with "serves us humans right" Today A LOT of things have been exposed and many people obviously are learning of abuse such as this through video/media. To add a lot of people are joining different organizations to try and help and end abuse. But then you have those who get a sick thrill from watching an animal get abused...

[McHunt7]

Serves us humans right.

[beauferret]

what happens when elephants are taken from their homes, seperated from their families, chained up in cramped prisons, beaten by their owners to break their spirits and forced to do silly performances for everyone's pleasure.

well this is the result.

this is why i've never been to a circus.

[BeeBuzziness]

Those elephants must be tortured there!

[fairplay9449]

"chains are for bikes, not elephants!" peta2

i like that and support it. don't go to the circus!

[SUNSHINESTUNTDUB37]

That is so sad how these elephants are treated, for years and years. It's understandable there's going to come a time when they snap.

[MsXray0000]

No sympathy for the victims whatsoever, and those so called trainers should be terminated.

[ilovetheview47]

is this the GOP?

[simpleplanfan011]

Well, I don't have that much sympathy for the victims. When you ride and hit them with whips, what do you expect?! Good job, Frida. Fight for your rights!!! >=O

[purpleday850]

humans are EVIL and bloody stupid. makes me sick.

[MillyVanillification]

the elephant just had enough of his stupid masters. they are right. nobody has the right to keep animals in cages.

[aehmann]

at least Frieda and Debbie (the two in the parking lot that went through the window) are finally free from abuse and living out the rest of their lives at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

[1995ChevyCaprice]

I'll never take my kids to the circus !

[ThrashMetalGuy]

thats why i hate circus's they need to be banned, i don't care if its for entertainment for people

[TheGreenCheekConure]

DON' SUPPORT ANIMAL CRUELTY. DON'T GO TO THE CIRCUS!! Don't Go!!

[Trenasist]

Elephant owners in the circus don't consider elephants as pets but as 'Money Makers'.

[Dungarth]

Elephants have fantastic memory, if you piss one off it will get revenge on you one day.

[Th3H0lyM4ge]

i already watched this on tv

[Bigtailhunter]

those elephants were clearly upset

[SkunkFace00]

Did you know elephants grieve.

just like humans do.

If i was mute would ppl put me in the circus.

no im not a peta junkie.

i just think it is wrong to do this to animals

[jtking2504]

Animals are not here for our entertainment, this cruel and humiliating treatment of these beautiful, intelligent creatures must end. If you pay to see circus animals and ride on elephants, then there is always the risk that something like this will happen.

[superman19742007]

@jtking2504 White people treated black people EXACTLY the same way that this elephant was treated for 400 years...funny how white folks cry over animals and still look crazy when a black man walks in the room

[jtking2504]

@superman19742007, good point. And there were a lot of white people who fought for the rights of black people alongside them, just as they are doing for animals today.

[LittleBoy2729]

Marauding beast - well I'm sure plenty of humans would crack to if they knew of their capabilities.

Elephants are relatively smart and have a good memory, so what goes around comes around.

Safest place to be is on the elephant in any case...

[xFoolyCoolyx]

With all the mayhem and people running around, it's kinda funny seeing ponies just standing there, i know they're attached to it but they didn't even look phased

[yandirtty21]

thats why i dont go to the circus :)

[Applepancakes1002]

um since when is an elephant a pet???

this is why i don't go to the circus. animals don't deserve to be treated like shit.

[camp168]

@Applepancakes1002 I once got a hippopotamus for Christmas!  lol

[NawticJ]

@Applepancakes1002 Please visit PETAs website...you can learn much more about this, and it surpasses just circuses...it's abhorrent how these animals are treated. No wild animal ever is appropriate as a "pet" or to be owned!

[thagingerbreadman]

i was just watching another clip of an elephant that was attacking the zoo keeper and everybody was commenting saying he was so brave and that he risked his life trying to close the gate......i personally think that he did some real bad things to the elephant and it was payback time because they are mostly calm animals unless threatened and also an elephant never forgets

[SwishWind]

Thats sad we should get 1 day into those elephants foots and see how it feels! to get fucked by stupid humans

[johnnybrottin]

Yeah!  nastee hoomans.

[NewMargaritaville]

the people deserved to die

[luvtowin]

This is SPECIFICALLY why I HATE CIRCUSES....Aweful..!

[rjl1025]

to jessicaaw69 were you really on that elephent. Because if you were i cant imagine how scary that would have been

[gramic67]

omg a tragedy that need not have happened =0

RIP Janet

[mimilovin]

that is why you dont take innocent animals meant to be in the wild and put them in captivity and make them do things like this

[rachelchunter]

That's really sad. Maybe if they hadn't treated elephants so cruelly, none of that would've happened. =o(

[loveleyang]

i was on an elephant b4 it was awesoem

[CocoaTheWolf]

you sick asshole,an animal should never have to go thought that!

[Atai9]

Ha ha ha awesome. Go elephants!

[jessicaaw69]

I am the little girl on the front of the second clip.

[loveleyang]

so arnet u 2 young to have a youtube j/p lol

[jessicaaw69]

It happened 17 yrs ago silly. I am old enough. lol

[crusoe85]

this makes me sick
