  • Our friends, the Slime Gang, are here to discuss their various stupidities, instead of the tragedy.

  • i know what killed the elephants. Cyber Bullying

  • No DeucalionsDog, it's because she enjoys piña coladas.... ;-)

  • elephants are so cute...

  • ha! the humans are bangali and hindu!

  • ..so?

  • how did they die....

  • there all gay

  • Comment removed

  • LTIKUSHI21 please learn to spell before you try to insult.

  • There, all gay.

  • You obviously don't know that you are misspelling a word in your 3 word sentence. But let's go beyond that....if they are gay, what are you?

  • I know the difference between there, their, and they're. I was poking fun at the fact the other person used there instead of they're by putting a comma between there and all gay. Jeez, what's with all the personal attacks?

  • OK, OK....I didn't see someone else use the word "gay".  I thought you were poking fun of gay's. Sorry..... ;-(

  • gay?

    this is about elephants lol

  • Why are people keep on re-uploading their videos when we already saw them!!!

  • How does a big Channel like Discovery spell "Lightning" wrong in the description?

  • they're still human who made mistakes.

  • LOL there is so much wrong with that one small sentence that it's funny.

  • they r sicko's

  • Poison baits, I am sure. "burn" caused by sun's on dead bodies. Did you noticed elephant tusks are missing? Must be poucher.

  • Dead elephant: Im back form the dead to haunt you National Geographics!!!!.

  • I killed them. They werent letting me sleep so yea;.

  • Hahaha!!! Nice joke! X3

  • well said woman....

    lol

  • It was Aliens.

  • who the hell r u guys.

  • very interesting, its possible but the chance is too little

  • If it were lightning, wouldn't the feet have exit and entry burn makes?

  • Doesn't lightning only cause burns like that if there is insufficient voltage to drive the current "cleanly" through the tissue?

  • I don't really know. I only know what I've seen on TV when people have been struck.

  • So you can imagine you live here on Maui?

  • Successful troll is successful

  • Tragic, no matter the cause. They are intelligent, social , beautiful animals. It was sad, one of the larger ones had it's foot on the little one. One last bit of comfort as they both died. :(

  • why has God cast down his lighting and murdered these wondrous creatures.throuhg the eyes of the Lord we are but mere insignificant creatures to be toyed with.

  • lighting hit those suckers. explains everything

  • poor things :(

  • isnt murder a term for people? greeneees lol

  • Who cares?

  • Possible murder suicide?

  • i feel kinda sorry for snubbyjoe, hes jus too stupid to live, do the world a favor and die, violently if possible, lol. eff u asshoe

  • why would they want to sacrifice elephants and anything bigger than that? i love animals so i dont want to see them being killed to extinction. people needs elephants to help them do work so they dont need to make animals be extinct. btw if ur so smart then y do u misspell some easy words and fix ur idioticy and im this person's sister and im only 11 years old and stop spamming.

  • haha... Al Gore's "An Inconvienant Truth" Please Don't use that garbage as a source...

  • Poor brainwashed sheeple. Carbon footprint? Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth has been proven again and again to be overly exaggerated in many cases, and total lies in other cases. We must make sacrifices, reduce the human population( violently if necessary)? Are you kidding me. If you are so concerned about the carbon footprint humans are making, then why not start with yourself? Violently reduce the population by taking yourself out. Or do you only support the violent removal of OTHER humans?

  • SnubbyJoe, you are an idiot. And all that crap you're talking about God, I hope one day you realize it is God that created all things, and believe in him and follow in him, so that you will not go to hell. Now stop talking down to people and taling about reducing the population violently. That could be considered a threat, and you could be prosecuted. So please, leave.

  • You know what also has a HUGE carbon foot print? Volcanoes. You know one small volcanoes can put out more carbon in one day than all the cars in the world can in a year? Are you saying we should destroy volcanoes too?

  • Yes, volcanoes do release large amounts of carbon. However that is NATURAL. Decomposition of animals (which results in the release of CO2) is NATURAL. However, when you tear apart the layers of the earth (which is a sync for carbon) then you're toying with nature. and then to make matters worse, there's a decrease in photosynthetic algae/bacteria due to pollution, deforestation and the BURNING of these fossil fuels.

  • You just endorsed the idea that humans are separate from nature. Good job, Einstein.

  • We are, in a sense, separate from nature.  Yes, we have all the same primitive needs BUT- the idea of natural selection can't be successfully applied to humans considering our intelligence. And we're supposed to USE our intelligence to make wise decisions. Not throw it away, like you seem to be implying.

  • You talk too much.

  • hurr durr

  • When will you except evolution is true?

  • When did I say I didn't?

  • Stop being so paranoid. I truth, the only thing we KNOW for sure is that the earth is warming. As to why or how much or whatever, we don't know anything for certain.

  • poor elephants =(

  • poor elephants =((((((

  • Love how this video shows human love for dramatizing everything when there are more simple answers for such events.

  • oh lord, for those who do not understand its Elephant murder, not man murder, not just murder. but elephant murder

  • this video made absolutely no sense to me.

  • Those pictures are so sad ): I love elephants! I hope that the professionals find out what it was exactly so that it won't ever occur again!

  • Comment removed

  • This is very sad and how could any one kill an elephant ? This is one species that man has completelydominated and has broke the spirit of all elephants so it wont be long before they to are extinct.

  • i think elephants are one of the only animals to cry

  • Carbon is an element...are you saying Elephants can produce matter?

    btw, I'm just nitpicking. The rest of your comment is too idiotic to even joke about.

  • I am tired of you,SnubbyJoe. Al Gore is an asshole and is very stupid. So why listen to him? They're are plenty of ways to stop global warming. Get those greener lightbulbs,get an vegetable oil or electric car,shut off your electronics when not in use,reduce,reuse,recycle.You don't have to sacrifice innocent animals.I hope you die painfully.>:(

  • Not to mention global warming isn't actually necessarily a bad thing. There are many scientists that say it could be actually a good thing and help climates around the world.

  • "Help climates" And what do you even mean by that?

    Due to climate change; Tornado migration paths are moving towards large cities.

    Due to Climate change; there has been an increase in marine life that feeds on Coral WHICH the survival of the of the underwater population depends on. (and in result; so do we)

  • why would anyone want to kill elephant?!?!?!!!!!!!!!

  • ivory. its worth alot, and it is easy to get. I have seen pipes carved out of elephant tusks that go for MAJOR dollars, and piano keys are sometimes still made with ivory......

    its an easy bank of money because you kill an elephant for free, and you gain $5000 worth of ivory.....

    its an easy $5000.....

  • Its not murder, because murder is the killing of one human by another human. So terming this as murder is incorrect. Gotta feel bad for the elephants tho.

  • bro, they PROBABLY were using the word "murder" figuratively......

  • Still, it gives a wrong impression. I think.

  • no it doesn't..... everybody knows that murder is not towards animals. Like you don't see anybody on the news or in a newspaper awaiting trial for "murdering" an animal. you need to gain some IQ.

  • murder is when you take a life away human or other havent you ever heard meat is murder!

    and that goes for vegetation murder is self act of taking another life or being of this plain of existence... YOU FAIL

  • Are you saying that eating meat or vegetables is bad because the animals and plants were "murdered?"

  • We need to eat to live. It's the food chain,learn it.

  • We need to eat to live, but what we choose to eat is entirely dependent upon us.

  • Poison, For SURE!

  • elephant lightening rods...

  • those elephants had it coming

  • yea its def poison, it has to be posion

  • These are Asian elephants and all appear to be females, no tusks so, IMO, that rules out poachers.

  • If there's anything that makes me sick in this world, it's elephant murder! That and really old mayonnaise.

  • Lightning would explain that

  • did they look in the ground...because they were around sand and sand turns to glass when struck by lightning

  • Only sand with certain chemical properties get hot enough to create class when struck by lightning. It's not a extremely common event with sand.

  • i didn't that thanks :)

  • Recently I read the Orwell essay "Shooting an Elephant." In it he describes how it took many shots first with a pistol and then a rifle to bring down an elephant that had trampled several villagers (in Burma) to death. He said it was taking so long to end it that he walked away, and was told by a villager that it took over half an hour for the elephant to die. He wrote that he hated doing it, one of his worst tasks ever. Elephants are noble and grand animals. The lightning theory sounds right.

  • :C

    i love elehpants. theyre so cute

  • these poor animals

  • who would want the elephants dead? if the trunks were missing, ivory dealers are the suspects...

  • Nope. Because the "ivory dealers" dont kill an elephant for its trunk, they kill it for its TUSK.

  • she probably meant tusks

  • i meant tusk :P

  • kool-aid and peanuts

  • They were obviously poisoned. They tried their best to discredit this, but failed miserably.

  • But the toxicology report found no evidence of poison. What proof do you have to counter that? You are crazy.

  • UFOoO's

  • They may have been sick for awhile and one of them collapse from it. The other came back and stayed with the elephant and eventually they all succumbed to the virus and collapse. :/ I mean if it wasn't poisoning or lightning, what else could do this?

  • So sad! =(

  • UFO's

  • Not just magic black magic

  • MAGIC

    case closed.

  • If it was a poisoning, I would think that the smaller ones would have died quicker given their body mass is smaller and the poison would have effected them sooner. Just my 2 cents...

  • the lab report does not eliminate posioning it elimitaes COMMON posions.

    no mater what he cause though i belive this was a great loss :(

  • Did they rule out a virus?

  • i was thinkin virus as well

  • you think a virus could kill them that fast? ... i personally think it was an undetected toxin that killed all three

  • Yeah, the toxicology report said it tested only for "common" poisons.

  • LOL what do you do that's so productive for anything or anyone?

    Troll youtube and play with guns cause you have a limp dick?

    You're probably just some cynical racist piece of white trash.

    You're a grown man and you have a video of you killing a baby bird (While dressed like a fucking idiot I might add). I'm sure you are highly intelligent and valued by your community.

    Go kill something you degenerate waste of resources. Preferably, yourself.

  • I agree. Now do your part and kill yourself for the good of the planet.

  • Why? So that neanderthaws like yourself remain? No. There needs to be tests that determine peoples intellence. Those who score a certain score and above are fine. The rest are leeches on society anyway and should be treated as such. That goes for all those loonely Bible thumbers and any people who are not enlightened enough to believe in scientific FACT and instead become zombies of hocus-pocus beliefs.

  • SnubbyJoe, it's spelled "neanderthal" you fucking idiot LOL. You even misspelled elephant, and illegal, and thumpers, and denier, and idiotic, and buffoon, and many other small words. You even said loose when you clearly meant lose! I mean... oh my god, you're obviously too stupid to even be on the internet! I guess YOU won't be passing that basic intelligence test that determines your right to live aaaahahahahahhahaha!

  • Comment removed

  • your an idiot food chain still killing you eat mught i remind you "DEAD THINGS"

  • ahahahhahahaahahahahha

    good one

  • its not the whales fault that the plankton are dissapearing in the seas is our fault because we caused global warming making the waters hotter and more difficult for plankton to live in

  • Did you know that global warming is not true.

    Well it is partly but the earth has been gradually warming for about 10,000 years.

    Do research before claiming things.

  • flat earther, denyer of the truth, idiotoic baffoon. The science has been settled on Global Warming, it is happening, it is not a theory, and in the last few years the temp has risen to the point of killing thousands of species. Read a book or at least use one of you Neocon braincells. I bet you voted for Bush and McCain too.

  • I'm going to say that i know the earths not flat and I would never vote for eaither of teh candidates you stated.

    Its been happening for a while and right now its at a spike.

    I'm sure you know this and your just misunderstanding me. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

    And the world isn't going to end because these species are dying. It won't end in our lifetime and there's a possibly humans may have evolved so far that the human race hasn't even existed when the global warming "kills us".

  • Ok your starting to sound like one of those strange conspiracy theorists...

    If the whole human race dies out in months I promise my evolved spawn will give yours 100 billion dollars. Or pesos or euros francs if anyone still uses those.

  • Whaat? There are less than 540,000 elephants left in the world. You seriously think they're a problem? Also there are less than 12,000 blue whales left in our oceans. You seriously think they have any effect on plankton levels?

  • it is true where causing it because where making the earth hotter

  • Does not stop the fact that they eat it. There is too much pollution in the oceans now. The plankton cannot get back to the vital levels unless NOTHING EATS THEM!!! Are you a backwards thinking Christian bigot? Stop making excuses because something is "cute" it is necessary for the earth that they die. Our fault, yes, but that does not change what has to be done.

  • aparently u dont know nothing about science everything in this earth has a purpose and a reason why its here if and animal disapears it affects and entire chain not just one thing. thats why scientist fight to keep animals from going extinct retard study before u know shit if it was as easy as just killing animals imagine how many would be dead by now

    the reason because the plankton are reducing isnt the whales fault but ours for increasing global warming

  • I thought I told you to fucking leave!!!

  • Fuck you,SnubbyJoe. The large animals have nothing to do with global warming,fatass.

  • Do they not expel carbon???

  • Do they not knock down trees and eat vegitation that we MUST HAVE to combat global warming??????

  • UFO did some type of attack.

  • you might be joking, i cant tell but i do agree.

  • how sad. Its very suspisious how they all died together like that

  • 0:50 why did they put captions? i could understand him perfectly. and the majority of other people probably will too. just because he has an indian accent? lol

  • I didn't even know there were captions until you mentioned it o-o I could understand him perfectly xD

  • wow

  • sad either way

  • lighting? maybe lightning? geez

  • .....

  • Humans are animals.

    So what does it apply to?

  • search for "chimp murder"

  • I think that's called, "hate crime". According to Al Sharpton.

  • HiCapacity is a useless piece of living shit. He does nothing productive for anyone or anything. In fact he does the exact opposite, polluting the world with his ignorance and hate. There is no reason for him to be alive, and many benefits to his death, which I wish upon him soon. What a waste of life he is, in every way.

  • HiCapacity, if you where to be killed, it wouldn't matter, because of your method of thinking is nothing lower that a savage animal.

  • Get the fuck out. Seriously. You're an example of a human that's life is far worthless than an animals.

  • Me?

  • o.o
