I think they're absolutely fascinating. Have you ever seen the video footage of a herd of female elephants stomping to death the lion cubs belonging to several lionesses that killed an elephant baby? One or two of the elephants would watch those lionesses every day and when they left the cubs alone, the elephants grouped together and killed the cubs.

I’m curious as to the identity of these ‘’villagers’’ who attacked the nuns. (Muslims maybe?)

A radical Hindu nationalist element. Rumor has it is a faction associated with the BJP.

It would be nice if the renegade elephants kept on stampeding their way to Washington D.C....

Thanks for the info. Hindus aren’t exactly the peaceful type either from what I understand.

Can’t recall seeing the video you’re talking about but as I say, it doesn’t surprise me. Elephants are the only other animal other than man with an abstract understanding of death. They mourn their dead. It’s not hard to understand the reasoning behind them killing lion cubs. Think of it. They’re mothers who seen a child(a calf of a ‘’sister’’ or ‘’daughter’’ killed) and they figure “Kill one of mine, I’ll kill one of yours’’ In addition it makes for a kind of cruel logic. The elephant is probably thinking’’ That lion cub or cubs isn’t going to get the chance to grow up and kill any more of our young’’. Clearly the elephant is not an animal to trifle with.

Well, the Hindus have their radical element, but unlike the trademarked ROP, these aren’t supported by the majority and on the contrary, are condemned by most Hindus. that’s a big difference.

And I got the picture directly from the Sri Lankan web site (diocese of Colombo). Imagine that?

Anyway it is good to evaluate our life under the light of word of God.. We have to think that without the knowledge of God nothing will happened in our life... When man become like animals in the forest(it may be shame for the animals to compare theese people with them)...People of responsibility and in authority simply become watch dogs for evildoers...God permitted animals from forrest to do human justice in villages( Old Testament Justice..which is well fit to those who deserve - not caring the value of human life which is devilish culture. God is not sleeping but gave enough time to repent but nobody bothers...such people may face the consequences... If I am right agree with me or give your view for better understanding

I think you are thoroughly and perceptively right.

I felt that way when I first read the story.

There will be many more such instances in these END TIMES.

God has a lot of surprises in store for the evil doers.

Dear Friends, It is good to evaluate this real story. When Human become animals...Animals become Human...What is wrong in it...It is a big shame for animals to compare them with these people... any way no other way. When man became inhuman and people in authority and of responsibility kept themselves as watch dogs for thees evildoers...what to do..? God can not be simply with them. God permitted the elephants to act Human Justice (as per in Old Testament IKings 13:11-31, 2Kings 2:23-24)For animal like people this is the only option for God...God has given enough time to repent...For human, God is having a different justice that is divine one; only people of love and forgiveness will understand that.Which is shown through His only Son Jesus Christ at the Cross...Amen.
