Watch video: Elephant teased and forced to chase vehicle for photographs

Elephants are often termed as the peaceful giants. But you may wonder if they are peaceful, then why do we see such videos in which they can be seen chasing the vehicles furiously? Well, it is because they are made to do so. At least, this is what seems to be the case from a video which has been shared on Twitter recently by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer, Saket Badola.

In the video, it can be seen how some people in a vehicle are following an elephant to get its video and photographs. The elephant seems to be minding its own business, and it doesn’t want to interact with these people. But after the continuous following, the elephant loses its cool, and turns back towards the vehicle to furiously chase them. The driver immediately starts driving the vehicle backwards as the giant animal runs towards them. After some time, the elephant stops the chase, and starts walking somewhere else.

The clip was shared with the caption, “This is how peaceful gentle giants are teased and forced to chase for some ‘exclusive’ photographs. For any resulting accident the #elephant is declared ‘rogue’ and put down for being ‘dangerous to human life and property’. #Justice? Via: SM @susantananda3 @rameshpandeyifs”.
