        I find it odd that people can’t see this as a tragic event and appear quite pleased there’s a dead German tourist.

        I think you miss the point. You went up against the largest animal on Earth in his habitat. What did you think would happen?

        No I think you’re missing the point. Can’t be mad at the elephant, the human got too close and it reacted. What’s disturbing is people are commenting GOOD! I get it when people are happy if a bullfighter gets killed while stabbing the bull with huge swords but this is different.

        Er sorry, I must have misread. Did it read ‘ Zimbabwean elephant’? Or was it just a normal shorthand headline? And are you just a little off the point with your misplaced pedantry?

        Elephant in natural habitat removes invasive human. I hope the elephant 🐘 is ok?

        If I walked into a dangerous stranger's house and started snapping pictures then I would expect violence. I feel for this person's family, but Elephants are wild animals.

        Humans should know that elephants can do that when they feel threatened...
