"Elephant Murder" in Thailand: Suspected to be forced to work under the hot sun, killing the owner with ivory
According to foreign media reports, at noon on August 17, local time in Thailand, a 32-year-old Thai man, Supachai Wang Feid, was leading an elephant to work in a rubber plantation. What kind of stimulation, he suddenly went mad, and kept using ivory to stab the man's body frantically, and tore him in half. Until the local police arrived at the scene, the elephant did not stop its frantic behavior. In order to prevent it from hurting more people, the police also used anesthesia needles to control it before they retrieved the deceased's unrecognizable body. So why exactly did the elephant do this?
In this regard, some people speculate that it may be because of the high temperature in the past few days that the elephant's mood has become very unstable, and coupled with the tiring work, it will suddenly collapse and run wild. Others suspect that perhaps the elephant had been abused by the man before it was forced to resist and attack it to death. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time an "elephant murder case" has occurred in Thailand. In July this year, an elephant used ivory to stab its breeder to death. In 2018, Thailand also had a sensational "elephant murder case" in China at the time. When a group of tourists were playing in Pattaya, Thailand, an elephant was suddenly raised in the scenic area. I don't know why. , out of control and rushed towards the crowd, eventually injuring 2 tourists and killing a Chinese leader. And in 2015, three Chinese tourists were visiting Chiang Mai, Thailand. While participating in the "Elephant Ride" activity, the elephants carrying them suddenly became mad. After stabbing the trainer to death with ivory, It even carried three Chinese tourists and fled to the depths of the jungle. The scene was very chaotic. Similar to this time, in September 2020, a 38-year-old man was suddenly attacked by an elephant in a rubber forest in Wangchan County, Rayong Province, Thailand. At that time, the man had already been pierced by ivory in his chest and died tragically on the ground. The elephant that attacked him had already escaped. It can be said that elephants can be raised in Thailand except Bangkok. Therefore, in addition to many Thais, there are also some foreigners who will also raise elephants in Thailand after passing the application. It is not surprising that an "elephant murder" occurred in Thailand. And although as early as 1989, Thailand banned elephants as "tools" for transporting wood, but such phenomena have been banned repeatedly, and because Thailand's "elephant performance" is also one of the special projects of local tourism, so , In Thailand, a large number of elephants are not only engaged in hard work for a long time, but also suffer from abuse, and they are always suffering from great pain both physically and mentally. Therefore, the elephant that killed this time in Thailand is likely to go mad because of high temperature labor and continuous forced work. Of course, in the final analysis, it will do this, and it is also caused by human beings. . How cruel is elephant training?
Many people find it very interesting when watching elephant performances. For example, some trained elephants can even "play the harmonica" and even perform handstands and other good shows, but they don't know Behind the performances of these elephants, it is actually the "conditioned reflex" that they have endured day and night abuse. Almost every elephant trainer, when training elephants, will first use iron chains to lock their limbs firmly, and then use elephant hooks to hurt the elephants. Hook to hook the ears of the elephant and the parts that need to perform. At the same time, if the elephant does not perform well, it will be beaten with a whip. The purpose of this is to make the elephant tame and become obedient. , and will make corresponding actions at any time according to the instructions of the trainer. It can be said that if you observe carefully, you will find that almost every "performing elephant" is covered with scars. These are the marks carved by humans on their bodies in order to "achieve achievements". You must know that elephants are originally very intelligent and gentle animals. If humans did not go too far, elephants would not take the initiative to harm humans. The reason why they would attack humans is actually because It's for the same reason: it's really unbearable to be hurt by humans. For example, in Thailand, there are many "genius elephants" who can draw, but they don't know that these elephants who can draw are forced to be separated from their mothers from childhood, and suffer from hunger every day. Hungry and tortured, I finally learned how to pick up a brush with my nose, and how to use these brushes to draw pictures that can please humans. Therefore, more and more people call for rejection of animal performances, so that animals can live their own lives in nature, live in peace with human beings, and the well water will not violate the river water, otherwise, whether it is " "Elephant Murder", or other performance animals harming humans, these tragedies will continue to happen, friends, what do you think?
