Today's Lesson: Don't fuck with animals bigger than you

An elephant ripped its handler in half with its tusks in southern Thailand last week after being made to carry wood in the hot weather, according to a report.

  1. Documentary traced these rogue elephants to herds that had been decimated to poachers. The young sold to villages eventually grew into rage animals. A program to return these orphans to herds were successful where strong alpha males ruled/led/existed to curb, correct and discipline any behavior that was disruptive to the herd.
    The nations that will make it out of the WEF claws to reset will be those that have those same type of alphas. At this point America will not. Females are those orphan elephants that are allowed to be disruptive in any sense to the point they put their children up to maiming surgeries and endless boosters that beta males go right along with them for pajina. In every facet of society, institutions, corporations, & government.

  3. there are some things in life you just do not do. common sense is not so common really
    at times it is more like a curse. dealing with the DMV or almost any gov't clown show.
    but critters ? nine times out of ten, you do not fuck with any of them half your size.
    unless you have the needed firepower to even the odds.
    about as stupid as pulling out in front of a big truck with a load on it.
    the thing is that they have done this for years over there and not many where killed doing it, so it must be this guy was a asshole.

  5. No shit!

    I rode on an elephant in Thailand once. Even a “little” Asian elephant is very large. I’ve never been to Africa, but I’m told a bull African elephant is the largest land animal in the world.

    Don’t piss them off.

  10. I was in Botswana in 86 hunting poachers. Saw lions attempting to kill an elephant calf whilst the mother tried to fend them off. A bull elephant swept out of the bush literally stomped one lion to death and mortally wounded another with one, gouge is the best word I suppose, of his tusks. Needless to say the entire pride vanished really quickly. The bull went back and stomped the dead lion several times and finished off the wounded one the same way.
    Bonus fun fact, you know if a lion roars within 100ft of you you can actually feel the sound wave, particularly in your underwear....

  11. Dipshits across the street moved away, abandoning their pet cat. Shortly thereafter, a bunch of feral kitties in the neighborhood.
    One evening I saw one enter my house thru the cat door. A little one, maybe a 5-pounder.
    I tried to scare it out the way it came in. (A previous incident with a raccoon suggested this was possible.)

    But NO!
    It ran around the place like a maniac, with me in hot pursuit.
    Now, I'm not particularly afraid of little kittens, so I grabbed it. When I did, it went into Tasmanian Devil mode.
    I disengaged, and it skedaddled into a closet. I slammed the door shut and pondered my next move.
    My arms and hands were shredded. There was blood everywhere- walls, furniture, clothes, even on the ceiling. I stanched the bleeding and cleaned up (some of) the blood.

    Round two: protective gear was indicated.
    With the aid of my leather jacket and winter motorcycle gauntlets I was able to cautiously remove the interloper with little additional bloodshed.
    My HouseCat #1 watched the entire clusterfuck with amusement.

    Whew. What an ordeal!
    Mixed a drink, caught my breath.
    Blocked off the cat door.

    Epilog: Eventually we were able to trap the ferals and found homes for them.
    Scars have faded now.
    There are still some bloodspots on the ceiling.

    1. The one time I got hold of an angry cat I didn't let go until I got it outside. I did heal up.
