Information reaching Viewers Corner from Thailand revealed that an elephant normally used for tourism was angry and killed his mahout keeper
and the elephant ran into a forest with three Chinese tourists it was carrying on its back, this is unbelievable. Again, the problems with these handlers are that they take these animals for granted by over working them and no proper care is given to them. What most of these handlers are interested in is the amount of money the animal would bring for them in a day. The elephant also have life and sometimes would like to rest but the handlers would force them to go and work. Sometimes, the handlers also flog or push these animals in a very terrible manner to go and work. Most times, when the animal feels that enough is enough, then it could get very angry and attack the handler. If this happens, you can not control them any longer so this may be the problem with this particular elephant.
Therefore, Viewers Corner is pleading to everyone who has a pet at home be it dog or any kind of animal, please make sure you treat them nicely. Do not over work them because as we human beings are going through stress at any given time so also the animals are going through stress too. As long as you treat them nicely, they would always be obedient to you the owner or handler.
