MAN TRIES TO HYPNOTIZE ELEPHANT, GETS TRAMPLED

A Sri Lankan man was trampled to death by an elephant after he tried to hypnotize it. The incident took place in Kataragama near Yala National Park in southern Sri Lanka. Video footage shows the unnamed man walking up to a wild male elephant grazing in a forest clearing. He then gestures to get the huge animal’s attention, after which it begins charging at him. In what is said to have been an attempt to “hypnotize” the elephant and stop it in its tracks, the man does not run away. The elephant knocked the man to the ground and trampled him to death on the spot.
* But then, amazingly, the elephant flapped his legs and clucked like a chicken.
* The trick is to use a bigger pocketwatch than normal for an elephant.
* Well, the first part worked, where he tried to get the elephant’s attention.
* He should have gone with a Jedi mind trick instead of hypnosis.
* His remains were folded into a box and sent home to his family.
