Woman trampled to death by wild elephants
2007-06-11
Wild elephants trampled a tribal woman to death at village Dhopajuri in Haluaghat, a frontier upazila of the district on Saturday night.
Gawd, I hate it when that happens.
The victim was identified as Alpana Chirang, 25, wife of Abdul Khaleque. Alpana fell victim as a herd of wild elephants from across the Indian border entered the village at around 11:00pm and started ransacking the houses to eat stored paddy, police and locals said.
"C'mon, boyz! Let's go trample somebody and steal all their paddy!"
"Good idea, Jumbo!"
Alpana's one and a half year-old daughter was also injured. Later the villagers chased the elephants away.

#2  Guess the elephants aren't getting enough to eat in their natural habitat, which is probably being destroyed and taken over by humans. Sincerely sorry for Mrs. Chirang, but any animal species will become aggressive if threatened and hungry.

#1  Them are African elephants in um pictures. Not that it matters of course. I advise opening your house and giving up your good if they are come for your paddy.
