Wild elephants 'rob' trucks of sugar cane, tapioca

The difficulty of finding food during the dry season has driven a group of wild elephants from Chachoengsao's Khao Ang Rue-Nai Wildlife Sanctuary to resort to snatching sugar cane and tapioca from passing trucks, a local forestry official said Saturday.

This, combined with a record of 14,000 animals being run over each year by vehicles using the 14.7-kilometre stretch - which cuts through the sanctuary where it overlaps the borders of Chachoengsao, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Prachin Buri provinces - has prompted officers to propose shutting the road at night.

Sanctuary chief Yoo Senatham said that on the night of January 6, a group of nearly 20 elephants blocked a stretch of Route 3259, making it impassable for about 10 trucks that normally use the route to transport sugar cane and tapioca.

The elephants then ate the crops and some also tried to capsize a truck to get access to the food, he said.

A 45-year-old truck driver, Daeng Thongdee, told officials that he had bought tapioca from Sa Kaew and was on the way to deliver it to a Chachoengsao market when he found his truck was the first in a line that faced the elephants' roadblock.

Fearing the elephants heading towards him, he retreated to the trucks behind him. He saw the elephants eating the tapioca from his truck, which was then left with a broken window, a dented body and a torn plastic cover. The elephants fled into roadside jungle.

de mens is het grootste roofdier... want waar gaat dat suikerriet en die tapioca normaliter naar toe ?? naar fabrieken , die er geld voor betalen ..
en dan wordt het na bereiding door mensen gegeten...
niemand maakt daar bezwaar tegen omdat er voor betaald wordt..
maar omdat olifanten nou eenmaal geen geld hebben , worden ze tot dieven of roofdieren bestempeld..

we leven in een vreemde wereld, of ik ben vreemd...
