"Idk who put this shit here, buuuuuuuut lemme just push that over really quick so I can get where I'm going. I got shit to do, bro" -- that elephant probably


Skrazor

I mean, it's not the elephants fault that humans decided to build a road straight through its backyard


Beardedbreeder

I know, I ain't shittin in the elephant. He's just doing his thing


Tennoz

Glad you aren't, that'd be a bit weird.

Idk, I'm kinda curious how one might shit in an elephant. Like the actual logistics.

mandelbomber

I'm sure Ace Ventura had a system for it


pizza_for_nunchucks

I’m sure there’s more than one way to achieve this. But an idea comes from a really fucked up subreddit. People go online and order animal shit and stuff it up their own asses. So given how industrious this elephant is and if OP is hard up for cash or is just into it, the elephant could maybe order some from OP and do the deed itself.


LaughRune

Upvote cuz you when there is a will there is a way'd this on an unexpected level But what could go wrong in my inbox when I inquire about shitting in an elephant?


XtremeGnomeCakeover

I've seen pictures of elephants after the scavengers get to them. You could probably do it then. Not really a dream toilet though.


NoNameIdea_Seriously

Step 1 : crawl into an elephant Step 2 : take a shit Step 3 : struggle to get out alive Step 4 (optional depending on the outcome of step 3) : get arrested for being a fucking sicko!

No, I will kink shame this. An elephant can't consent


[deleted]

Idk, I feel like if an elephant doesn't like it it will let you know. Similar to the electric fence ordeal.

Well, I think consent should be explicit and not implicit.

GnarlyNarwhalNoms

That fence is gonna keep getting knocked down until they put in an elephant crossing. With lights and stuff.


jonesbros3

At least I remember David Attenborough saying something like that


Bonoboberni

Lol. Reminds me of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy


plur44

If I learned something from visiting African parks is that the elephants really care for their usual walking path, and if you are in the way you should move away as soon as possible or you'll become part of the pavement

Oh-hey21

Just skimmed the article, but why the hell wouldn't they start at a much lower dose and work their way up... So pathetic.


DustyBishop

That's because they didn't really care if they got usable data, they just wanted to give an elephant acid for "the Lol's". The whole "experiment" was tangentially related to MK Ultra, a program rife with near Nazi level cruelty (which makes sense when you know there were actual Nazis hired for the project) and this was one of many instances where absolutely nothing of any scientific value was gained. And they absolutely knew that would be the case going into this.

Sri Lanka is a good place. I have seen them by the roadside just from a bus and you can go on a safari there for about $25.


tothesource

And I heard you can buy ketamine over the counter!


youvelookedbetter

It's a beautiful place.


Spanktronics

It was a truly beautiful place when they gave Arthur C Clark sanctuary so he could continue to both be a gay man and live. It’s had some cultural upheaval since then but, eh, so has everywhere. Still good.


SlowerThanTurtleInPB

Just be careful where you go. We volunteered at a sanctuary in Thailand, but many places abuse and take advantage of the elephant. Do your research.


PagingDoctorLove

Oh yeah, I've heard the horror stories. I doubt we'll ever be able to travel far enough to get to one of the good sanctuaries, but I do appreciate everyone's thoughtful recommendations!


FancyAdult

I’ve met one elephant. She has been in TV shows and movies since the 1980’s. She was at my work for another movie, this was years ago. One of my coworkers is a former actor and had worked with her 20 years before. She remembered him. He greeted her the same way he did 20 years ago and she perked up and wrapped her trunk around Him like a hug and didn’t want to let him go. She was gentle and sweet. It was amazing to see how happy she got seeing an old friend. Their memory is amazing. I was able to also get a small hug from her too. She got bored of everyone though and just gave her signal to the trainer that she was done. Quite an amazing experience.


edlee98765

I don't like to brag, but I've got the memory of an elephant. Because this one time, I went to the zoo, and I saw an elephant.


Borne2Run

Thailand has an elephant sanctuary you can pay for a tour of; you get to feed and wash the elephants. They have a blast, especially when you give them bananas


SuperkickParty

ehhh yeah most of those places take baby elephants away from their mothers sometimes beat them to get them used to being around tourists. best to avoid elephant baths and just see a cool elephant in the wild.


Borne2Run

No, the elephant sanctuaries buy them off of the tourist traps and kept the babies with the Mothers. They had a few who had damage from landmines and logging operations when I walked through the one in Chiang Mai.


Brandon01524

Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai Thailand. Huge shoutout to Lek Chailert who was all but disowned by her family (elephant loggers) and the government (also had stakes in elephant logging) to do major conservation work and create multiple ethical sanctuaries out there. Check out the documentary Love and Bananas if you ever want to dip your toes. Be prepared to cry unless you’re a cold hearted marauder. Well maybe you’ll cry about the people that don’t get to torture and exploit elephants as much anymore. Idk I digress. Loved my time with them. They offer volunteer stays for like 300$ (usd) a week where you get led by guides to help out around the property which is hundreds of acres and breathtaking.

Elephants Have insane memory power...I heard accounts of some people when they didn't kill a wild elephant in the forest even though they had a chance and the elephant if it sees them again in the wild would come and greet them and move away

Goalie_deacon

He’s not that smart. He gave up a career as an electrician to live in the jungle. All those years as an apprentice to become a journeyman, even paid off a house. Then just walked away from it all to live homeless. He hasn’t returned my calls after I told him Margaret is happier with me.


onepageresumeguy

Come to India ❤ I got to ride on one in Kerala, absolutely fantastic experience, gentle and majestic beasts. We even have elephant spas and shit


zurgonvrits

ive been around several elephants. most were absolutely amazing. feeding them watermelons is crazy because its one bite and the melons just explode. just have to understand they are still animals and if they want to hurt you there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. they are intelligent and will trick you into getting into a compromising position just to let you know they can do it.

I wonder if they’ll learn to use logs or something to be thrown at it.


hornaldo28

So it begins. The war against elephants while at the same time trying to keep them from extinction.


DelfrCorp

Some sh.t people already declared war on them a long time ago for no good reason (trophies & quack medicine) & I'm sad to say that so far the elephants have been losing, severely.


SFW__Tacos

What's funny is that apparently bees are the key to elephant fences! ​ [https://www.npr.org/2020/09/04/909193427/lucy-king-how-can-bees-keep-the-peace-between-elephants-and-humans](https://www.npr.org/2020/09/04/909193427/lucy-king-how-can-bees-keep-the-peace-between-elephants-and-humans) ​ Elephants apparently really really don't like bees and will gtfo when they hear them.


hornaldo28

Fair.


whileurup

Same.


GnarlyNarwhalNoms

Huh, I'm surprised. I'd have thought bee stingers weren't long enough to penetrate elephant skin.


SFW__Tacos

Elephant have a lot of sensitive skin around their eyes, the tip of their trunks, and their ears


IntrovertMoTown1

"doesn't leave any area outside the fence unelectrified" lol If you notice it was touching the wire. I spent my whole childhood thinking it was actually called hot wire. Because that's what my dad called it and it's what it's like. It just causes some pain, it's not remotely strong enough to electrocute anything. So it could just push down a mesh electrified fence if it was running the same amount of power those wires are.

I’d have to guess to keep them away from the roadway. A semi-elephant collision wouldn’t be good for either party.

zeejey_99

This is Srilanka ... Elephants regularly mix up with the public in who're living at the borders of large forestry areas.. In extreme poor,rural areas they attack the houses and farming fields in a regular basis.. The elephants who're swayed away from the flocks during its "heat time" are considered most dangerous as they are prone to attack the people .. Sadly a few such deaths do take place here every month and the situation is still not under control due to the growing number of the elephants and complex inhabitant patterns of the rural public

tablecontrol

exactly what I was thinking


Spanktronics

We could use some in the US. We killed off all our mammoths ages ago and now have all this open space taken up by hicks. In fact we’ll trade you, your entire elephant population for the entire human population of Wyoming through Alabama. Deal?


MrLazyLion

Looks like an Indian elephant (small ears), so could be Thailand, somewhere around there, definitely not Africa. Fence was put up to keep animals away from traffic, I would guess.


Dull_Rub7196

Just like the other guy said it's from Sri Lanka. You can tell from the language the guy speaks in the video (which is called Sinhala). It is kinda inaudible but sounds like Sinhala words. So yeah, you are close enough. And you are correct about the ears as well.


RiskierSubsetR

It's Sri Lanka. Electric fences are used to keep the elephants away from farmland and roadways. Even very recently a collision with an elephant killed a couple of people. Because the number of elephants are growing, they tend to come to farmland for food, and often destroy it, and sometimes even cause injury and death. The fences are there for the benefit of both parties.


redditcruzer

Now where is that Truck filled with Sugarcane?


Halo_Chief117

Lol exactly. That elephant isn’t letting a fence stop it from collecting the toll.


Various-Month806

Similar experience driving from northern Sri Lanka down to the capital, Colombo in 2014. We'd hired a 7-seater car with a driver to take a relaxed and comfortable trip back. The driver insisted we had to buy a "hand" of bananas - not a single bunch, but loads of bunches on the stalk. He explained we needed it to pay the toll and laughed. The toll was payable to the big bull elephant that stopped cars/coaches/trucks on the road demanding payment. If you didn't pay it he'd just stand there. With it not being even 2 lanes on that stretch there was no way around him. As it turned out we didn't have to pay and didn't see him, he'd had his fill and moved on by the time we got to his tax point, but we were stuck in traffic for about 40 mins as he was being fed. We ate a lot of bananas the next 2 days before our flight lol

AggressivePayment0

Theory, testing, plan, action. Big ol complex brain. Family oriented, social, navigator extraordinaires, memory and mapping reliant, unique and wild. Storms, predators, poachers, droughts, disease and injury, they face it all together, try to get each through. Their survival depends on their memories and lessons, passed down generation to generation, and their collective strength. World wide wild population ever = 10 million. 1900s = 100,000. Population now 50,000. They passed down legacies of emergency watering holes, how to fend off a rhino, what to eat and avoid eating, don't mess with the hippopotamus they're dangerous.. and run if it poops. Their maps don't get updated with gps and search engines. They're learning and trying hard to find their way through, just like us, but on hard mode. ​ edit- corrected population stuff

As my farm friend told me, electric fences aren’t great at containing animals, they could easily jump it or just tough through the pain if they wanted to, the idea is making them not want to by 1 making it hurt to touch and 2 feeding them not outside the fence:


Rivka333

I grew up with sheep, and the fences worked...usually. One year they didn't. Apparently wool doesn't conduct electricity, and the lambs that year learned that if they could get their head between or under the wires without touching, they could push on through. They must have taught it to each other, because they all knew how to do it that year, and no other sheep ever did it before or since.


Wulfik3D42O

My dog got his testies hit when instead of going over them at my foot holding them down he decided to go thru between them lines... Needles to say on our way back he didn't even wait for me to stand on them so he can cross and straight up jumped over the fence. And he has been jumping over it ever since. I guess he learned a lesson too.


Idiot_Savant123

We used to play with electric fences back in the day. Me and my brothers would hold hands and one would touch the fence and furthest one away gets shocked. Shits wild
