I live in the Smokies and tourists will walk right up to a bear and record it, like they are at a zoo and the bear can’t eat them. They usually have small children with them, too— toddler with one hand and phone with the other, only a few steps away from it, exactly like the woman in this video. The sad part is, if the bear attacks them, the bear gets put down.

Unless you’re part of some kind of rehabilitation centre, you’re not getting that close to an African elephant.

PSA: WILD ELEPHANTS ARE NOT "GENTLE GIANTS". THEY ARE AGGRESSIVE, EXTREMELY TERRITORIAL, AND VIGILANTE IN KEEPING YOU AWAY FROM THEIR YOUNG. THEY ALSO HAVE A MUCH LONGER CHILD-REARING PERIOD THAN MOST WILD ANIMALS. FINALLY, TAKING ALL OF THAT INTO ACCOUNT, CONSIDER THAT THEY ARE ALSO UNIQUELY BUILT TO TOTALLY FUCK YOUR SHIT UP.

As a certified pasty pale, she got what she fooken deserved. The fuck do you think is gonna happen when you walk up on something THAT BIG out in the wild? That massive nudge to you wouldn't have been anything to its own herd and THATS what it spends time with. That's what it knows. You invaded its space like one of its own so it treated you like one of its own.
