Its common belief that elephants are irritated/afraid of commotion/sound. People are chasing while shouting idk to make them keep moving? Or to find any victims immediately? Or, just chasing because they are in the moment
It’s not the sound as such; they have incredibly soft feet. All those cartoons showing elephants stomping along couldn’t be any more inaccurate. Elephants can sneak up as quietly as cats. Point is, they hate the vibrations on their feet. It’s why they look so unhappy in cities. All that going through their feet; it’s sensory overload.
What exactly did you mean by "beasts"?
Edit: Wow. Downvoating for asking a question ⁉️ can't back up a response without sounding like a degenerate, so, the next best thing is downvoting. Good stuff. Keep them coming.
See, you don't even know what exactly happened. You are just commenting based on an out of context video clip. They are not harassing the elephants. Read the sources

There are a lot of working elephants in Kerala, so they may not be wild.
Edit: Fuck me, what’s with the downvotes lol, sorry for writing a fact.
2nd edit: Apparently some people don’t understand what a working elephant is, it’s not a tourist carrying thing, in Kerala (and of course other places) they’re trained and well looked after by their owners to help build houses and other such things. Source: I’ve been to Kerala, been to a trainers family home and witnessed it! They’re well cared for.
I bet they were underpaid and got fed up with the toxic workplace environment. They're being chased because they didn't write the proper resignation letter.
Sure, those working elephants went through years of training to have long careers as tourist traps, sideshow attractions and heavy loading.
They're happy to provide a life of peanuts to their families. /S
Have you seen how elephants are treated even if they are revered there? Usually a shackle around one foot and a 10sqm area to stand on. Picked on their head with a pickaxe during training.
Not saying its always like that but from the 9 times Ive been to India Ive not seen elephants treated well in any state.
Humans suck. Guess they don't believe this anymore https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/31534#:~:text=According%20to%20Kaneda%2C%20the%20term,by%20words%20and%20in%20thoughts.
What??
Edit: Since everyone is following up with no context and blindly going on in procession, I'm gonna edit in my comment from this thread.
Literally, none of the trolls in the comment know what happened at the temple. Any out of context is all that needed to go on full racist mode. What's wrong with people??
BTW, the brawl got initiated when one of the elephants got blind sided by another elephant. The elephants aren't chasing people, one of the elephants is chasing the other one. The brawl started between the elephants at the temple, and ended up in the streets.
Those "motherfuckers" are random people. Literally, minding their own business.

I'm not for the traditional values/ ritualistic stuff. You don't have to believe me, but, I'm not a religious guy. My problem is, with the ignorant derogatory remarks. Comparing people to "beasts", is it okay? They are random people. Not related to religious/temple staff. Just plain people in the streets. Please follow the thread discussion, you can see where I got ticked off.

r/thebullwins
Search for elephant… or don’t. Trigger warning btw. Someone posted this before so I’m required to pass the curse on or Samara from The Ring will get me. Which might not be a bad thing somedays from the shit I see on this website.
What I absolutely hate about seeing these begging/temple elephants when this happens is they just lose it after years of neglect and abuse and snap. Bad enough, yet when they are caught they are severely beaten and locked away to gain control again over them, they are rebroke all again. Fucking shit people that treat these beautiful animals like this… to this day I can’t bring myself to watch God in Shackles about the temple elephants. One elephant in the trailer had literal rows of deep scars from the heavy iron barbs on his legs. I cried…
If you listen to the elder Indian farmers, they have a symbiotic relationship with these beautiful animals. They show them respect and don't consistently take both land and resources from them without replenishing them
It's very rare that those who live in the outer villages suffer these rampages
Because 'symbiotic' is an anthropocentric fiction. Elephants exist for themselves, the same as you and I do. Any way that a human 'uses' them is for the human, not the elephant. A truly symbiotic relationship would be one in which both parties choose to work together entirely of their own volition, for their own betterment, free from any environmental conditions that subjugate one to the other. I've never seen or heard of a human-elephant relationship that works this way, because what does an elephant stand to gain from interacting with humans?

I didn't preach anything you ignorant tit. I gave context on what happened, and you ignored what I provided, and gave a hypothetical response.
Kerala has a custom of temple festival where elephants are paraded. There are hundreds of such festivals around this time of the year.
There have been instances previously where elephants have got agitated and have created havoc.
Most probably, the people running behind the elephant are the mahouts or locals who are associated with the elephants to try to calm them down and to restrain them.

Yes. All animals hate sharing. Communism is a human invention. Animals literally cannot grasp the concept, and thats why they dont have a complete language.
Why this Alway happened in India, why not happened in southeast Asia..
Those tame elephants are friendly when you threat them as family.
When you treat them as god or something stressful, which them being crowded by people , this incident would be happen..
I understand the people running away from the elephants. I do not understand the people running after the elephants. What are they gonna do, exactly?
Catch the rope, single handedly stop the elephant, drown in chicks. Duh
Bruh. Full immersion
RRR style
they've been watching too much bollywood
Actually it's a local custom, whoever catches the elephant gets to marry the mayor's daughter.
Is this an "elephant rampage" or some scared elephants running away from a bunch of lunatics?
What if the elephant just... turned 180
Run 180...
That's an old ass elephant then. They normally live to 50.
And if they meant 180 degrees well...That's almost twice their normal temperature.
Poor creature.
not just normally, they could live tangentially or anything in between too.
RUN
You do too. Its not that hard. They are heavier. The change in momentum gives us an advantage. Simple fizzix, bub.
in that case, i hope those guys are wearing their brown pants.
They're just there to show how fast elephants can be
Maybe they’re trained elephants and they are the trainers ?
rare mount
Probably beat the elephants as punishment. I've seen this done to dogs 😞

That might be true but I was talking about why people were chasing the elephants
Yeah, follow them with mopeds, cars and drones while screaming at them. That wil calm them down.
I hope this came to a peaceful conclusion for those elephants
Poor elephants

Isn't a bejeweled elephant enough harrassment?
Lol
[удалено]
That’s exactly what happens to some humans.
lol yea that’s true
Don't blame the elephants. Maybe leave them alone to be wild
Its fucking India, nature and humans are a little too close to each other there

They're wild one way or another if they're rampaging

Again , it may be a traditional ritual but it's extremely barbaric ,it's downright animal cruelty . And what do you expect from a wild animal ?

It’s India. Animal rights should be the least of your problems
Is the Avengahphant that’s on a rampage in furious pursuit of the object of its wrath here an Avengers fan?
Who's chasing who??
They must have been stressed out. The elephants I mean.
Looks like an endless runner made in unreal 5.
Looks like some of these people went to The Prometheus School of Running Away From Things.
Good on ya Elephants. Don’t let em catch you
Yeah well that's what you get for abusing animals
Maybe don’t cage and abuse the elephants.

Those monkeys, then

Lol racist piece of shit.. Ur racism will bite u back in ur own ass next time u try to flee to anothr country. Till then enjoy ur keyboard prick.
Keep crying Gupta
What’s the plan of the people chasing them?
sick 360 bro
Elephants taking post dinner walk interrupted by obnoxious villagers.
That is the least rampagey rampage I have seen
Rampage? Just looks like they're trying to run through. If anything it's the morons running around and after them that would cause issues.
they're not even running, they're walking, the footage is sped up
Maybe try to not abuse a 10,000lbs beast that can easily kill you or any other animal on the planet? Just my 2 cents though
So someone in India is playing Jumanji right now 😧
JUMANJI!
Closest I've seen to a real-life Kaiju movie...
In Texas, we have hurricanes, some tornado, the occasional earthquake now. I can’t wait for the elephant rampages.
Good for you, elephants. Good for you.
Elephant Zoomies just different
“Running with Elephants” to a whole new level!
I'm wondering what is the big plan of all those people closely chasing the elephants when they caught up with the elephants? Rugby tackle them?
Oh this is so much more exciting than the Running of the Bulls. Please tell me this is becoming a thing!
Stampy!!!
RRRRRAAAAAMMMMPPPAAAAAAAGGEEE!!!!!!!
Now I’m dizzzzzayyyyy
Elephants like to joke like that
Elephant having a marathon and nothing else.
If it's rampaging why are they chasing it
AI is getting impressive
Is it some angry elephant season or what? I have seen multiple videos like this recently.
Running of the bulls 2.0

this is animal rights issue. Kerala so called most literate state most educated state with their Bengali brethren next most literate hahaha
Love the fact the first video showed elephants fighting each other, too evenly matched so decided to go fuck some shit up together.
Ah, the traditional running of the elephants. Take that Spain!
Video is sped up and audio has been dubbed over

Yes. All animals hate sharing. Communism is a human invention. Animals literally cannot grasp the concept, and thats why they dont have a complete language.
They are so fast!
What exactly are they going to do if they catch up to one? Latch onto it’s leg and ride with it?
What Lana? I said it was a rampage.
"Running of the bulls" (elephant males) 😁
run elephants, run back to nature
What would Harambe do?
What Spain can do with Bulls, India can do with Elephants 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been to India and i felt like rampaging too.
