Horror moment wild killer elephant charges and tramples Buddhist monk to death

 

A wild elephant trampled on a monk after it attacked him as he walked back to his temple.

Horror footage shows Jaron Sucking, 66, looking around only to see a mad male elephant attacking him.

The monk shows that the monk is desperately trying to escape, but only gets a few yards before he is caught, according to CCTV footage taken at the temple complex in Thailand.

The monk was gored by 20-inch-long ivory elephant tusks and then trampled on as he lay on the ground screaming for help during Saturday night's attack.

The old elephant had left by the time fellows found the monk's bloodied body at 9 AM the next morning.

"No one saw Monk Garun during the morning rituals," said temple director Wasan Misapan.

“The next time we saw him was when his body was found. He was already dead.”

The staff were initially unsure how the monk was killed as his body was covered in cuts and bruises.

But when they checked the CCTV footage and made sure Phil was to blame.

During the investigation, the elephant was found living in a nearby national park.

A team of wildlife rangers were deployed to the area to monitor the animal to keep it away from the villages and prevent similar incidents.

They believe the elephant was in mockery, a period in which they exhibited extremely aggressive behavior and developed surging hormones while trying to attract a mate.

Police from Kaeng Hang Maeo Police Station attended the scene and confirmed that they are not looking for anyone else connected to the death.

They said in their report: "The monk's body was found shortly before nine in the morning on Sunday 11 September.

He was last seen in surveillance footage the night before, when he was attacked by an elephant.

The monk died when the police and ambulance crew arrived. There was no chance of saving him.

"National park wildlife personnel are now tracking the elephant, which has an estimated lifespan of 10 years."

Thailand has an estimated 2,000 Asian elephants that live in the wild but roam freely among protected forests.

However, there is often conflict when they come into contact with humans on the roads and villages.

A similar number of elephants work in the tourism industry or are employed in religious festivals and weddings while a small number work in commercial logging.

While it sounds cute, when elephants attack, they can leave a trail of destruction.
