Elephants Rampage in India (08 Jun 2011) ☠ WARNING: Graphic Images ☠

Death and destruction as elephants rampage through Indian city
June 9, 2011 - 7.44AM

A man has been trampled to death when two wild elephants rampaged through an Indian city, also attacking livestock and ramming cars and motorbikes.

New Delhi Television news channel aired footage showing the body of a man at the feet of one of the elephants in the city of Mysore.

The elephants were on the loose for three hours after they wandered into the southern city, killing the 55-year-old security guard in the Bamboo Bazaar district, The Daily Mail reported.

The footage shows the man being butted and trampled in a doorway after he came out of his house to see what was going on.

Officials said one elephant wandered through the grounds of a women's college, while the other stomped through a residential area.

Groups of people in the streets ran away or looked on in shock as the elephants butted a cow, ran into cars and nudged motorbikes.

Residents were advised to stay indoors and away from the two young elephants, who roamed into the city from a forest about 35 kilometres away with two others.

The young pair were eventually shot with tranquilliser darts and will be released back into the wild, while the other two have not been captured.

One official blamed the rampage on human encroachment into areas traditionally inhabited by elephants.

"Unregulated expansion of farm lands and increasing movement of people and vehicles through the elephant corridor are making the wild jumbos enter into villages and towns in search of food and shelter."

印度野象闯进城市袭击群众 1人丧命

印度发生大象踩死人事件。有两头野生大象闯进南部城市迈索尔的街头，并公然袭击群众，至少一人丧命，好几人受伤。

这头牛就这样被野象发狠地又顶又推，毫无还击能力，最后被撞得伤痕累累。街上的公众看见这一幕都被吓呆了，纷纷闪避野象。肇祸的两头野象相信是从附近的森林误闯城市的。

为了公众安全，野生动物园工作人员急忙疏散群众。野象还一度跑进建筑物的地下层。野象横冲直撞，一名男子便活活被踩死，还有不少公众受伤。

当局最后以发射镇静剂，成功制伏一只野象，另外一只野象则在农园里被逮住。

由于野生动物的栖息地越来越少，它们往往得跑到更远的地方、甚至是闯进城市里觅食，为此印度每年都有好几百人因为被野生动物袭击而丧命。

Amazing footage! As more and more of their land and corridors get taken over by humans who encroach on elephant property through corrupt government allocations, these poor elephants are confused and lost. Hopefully some solution will be found.The loss of human lives and damage to orchards and fields is increasing at alarming rates.
