Elephants strike back?
Hello,
Read an interesting article in the 18 Feb 2006 issue of the New Scientist magazine, which indicates that there is evidence that human actions are resulting in severe stress on elephants akin to PTSD, which has lead to increased elephant aggression towards humans.
Unfortunately, the full article is only available to NS subscribers, so I can't link to it from here.
Has anyone heard about this?
Cheers,
Julian

National Geographic Channel did a documentary on this several months ago entitled
"Elephant Rage".
Quite an interesting documentary to say the least. Here is a link to a description of it.

As I've said, these animals are a whole lot smarter than we give them credit for.

hi, i havent looked at the link yet-but also, elephants deserve a whole lot better than what man gives them.
they,ve been getting P-OFF for yrs. really nothing new. many animals are getting P-OFF.what do people expect of them.
they call the elephants: rouge or menace. i guess man refuses to look in the mirror.it would be kinda cool to have the wildlife fight back-no holds barred-anything goes.
it wouldnt hurt to have a little help from some virus- to bring man to his knees and say"sorry".
