    Quick-thinking wife manages to save her husband from wild elephant attack

    A woman’s spontaneous reaction saved a rubber tapper in Bueng Kan province from being killed by a wild elephant late on Sunday.

    The woman managed to drive way the elephant by screaming and banging together objects before the animal could stomp her husband, Supat Klonsalab, 33, to death.

    Supat is currently being treated in hospital for injuries that are not too severe.His wife Primanee Chairat, 37, told reporters that the pachyderm took her husband by surprise, adding that the area was not an elephant habitat.

    She said when she found the elephant stomping on her husband, she quickly grabbed some objects and banged them together to make a noise and scare the animal way.

    Taweep Khamphaengmuang, chief of Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary, offered the couple gifts and some funds to cover Supat’s medical bill.

    He also apologised for the accident and said elephants sometimes ventured out of the sanctuary to find food. He said people should place bright lights around the perimeter of their property or burn chillies to drive them away.

    I feel sorry for the elephants. (or in fact all the animals that have to live in a world with humans)

    I fell sorry for all the wild animals. There is almost 8 billion of us and just a handful of them left. We keep on taking their space and killing them off.

    A tiger can kill a person and it is standard to hunt the tiger down and kill it. They deserve to eat a few people, IMO.

    Damn depressing, the state of things regarding wildlife.

    your argument is flawed.

    if you are going to equate the life of a human with the life of an animal then a human has just as much right to kill an animal as the animal does to kill a human.

    its "natures rules" on this planet, not human sentimentality, and nature dictates that only the fittest will survival. nature in all or some of its forms will adapt and survive with a greater rate of success than humans. nature has no time for the mawkish sentimentality that affects humans.

    just look at the mess created by a tiny microscopic virus as it struggles to survive. do you think the virus deserves the right to kill humans?

    Yeah is such a nice peaceful world for them in the wild. Eating to live one more day. Eating their young if the winter gets a little tough

    Nevermind the fact that the forests in Europe which were predicted to be gone in the 1900's , are now bigger than they were in the 1800's.

    No matter how much progress the world makes environmentally , the self hating Malthusians will keep at it until the human race is extinct

    Wow. That is the most pathetic answer to a well reasoned argument I have ever seen.

    Didn't NASA recently say the planet is greener now than it was in 1985? Plants love CO2

    The simple virus has been on this planet a lot longer than mankind has.

    We are the ones defying nature, and nature has a way of balancing things out.

    Yes. The world has made huge progress environmentally in the last 30 years. But just like gay rights , it doesn't matter how much progress we make. The neo Malthusians keep pushing even harder

    That's still the same contradiction. It does not in any way , invalidate Taxexiles argument.
