Elephants searching for food have trampled 10 Rohingya refugees to death in multiple incidents, the UN said on Tuesday, announcing a new plan to foster “safe coexistence” between animals and sprawling refugee settlements.

“The area now occupied by the Kutupalong refugee settlement has long been an important habitat for Asian Elephants. There are about 40 elephants in the area and they move between Bangladesh and Myanmar in search of food,” the Geneva-based agency said in a statement.

“When wild elephants attempt to pass through the camp they inevitably come into contact with people, which is where the danger arises. Tragically 10 refugees have been killed by frightened elephants inside the settlements. Other people have been injured and lost the little property they had,” the statement further said.

Last week, a wild elephant entered the Kutupalong Refugee camp, killing at least one child and injuring 30 people.

Germany has been throwing money at refugees to go away and all they needed was a few elephants.

Why are humans so upset about animals killing animals?

They're just doing the kebob removal humans don't want to do.

Why do you think the Persians used war elephants to successfully repel kebab until the Sasanian Empire?

Asian elephants are incredibly docile creatures, especially in herds. In general elephants are pretty lazy animals unless a) they're lone males in "heat" or b) you're perceived as a threat to them or their calves. In either of those cases they can be very, very dangerous. I don't buy that a herd of elephants just randomly killed 10 people for no reason. I get the feeling this article is leaving out the part where hungry refugees tried to score some elephant burgers. Basically the elephants dindu nuffin.

Think any of them acknowleged the elephant in the room?

 

[usernames can change now!]

Republican symbolism is literally killing refugees. The GOP is a hate group and their elephant is a hate symbol. #TradeInTheTrunk

What I'm seeing is a lone elephant wandering into the camp, just meandering all docile-like, and the people are going batshit and being loud and obnoxious, throwing sticks (spears?) at it, which would likely be what causes it to freak out in return and run over them and their shit.
You'd think it would be obvious not to startle up something 10x your size that can btfo everything you have, and instead just wait quietly until it wanders away again.

^Rohingyas aren't that smart.

Stunning new evidence may prove that the president has covert ties to the pachyderm assassins. This could be huge.

*Rohingyas violently attack Mayanmar Buddhists. Get violently expelled.*
*Rohingyas violently attack elephant. Get violently owned.*

I'm noticing a pattern here.

Could it possibly be that we've been a bit too quick to declare Myanmar a shithole? With this kind of attitude, they could become the Poland of Southeast Asia.
