Well im still here but the new ed has wiped the floor with whiffey and most of his names thank god.

[pastafreak]

It isn't nice....but it IS part of reporting the news.......and certainly not as traumatic as photos of war or major accidents.

I dont like animals dying the poor thing

[know-noknow]

i bet the bus driver thought it was a major accident

[sir.knobby]

Yea I know its a shame about whiffey as he has departed us now

[pinktwink]

hey pasta i have to admit it was really me who fell on the elephant doing my aerobic routine from last night!!

[pastafreak]

No one does.....but maybe it is necessary to see such things. It helps to know that these images get such a strong response from people like yourself.

It puzzles me how there are always complaints about dead animals being shown in the news, but rarely about graphic photos of dead, injured and dying people.

why do elepants have 4 feet?

[pastafreak]

EXACTLY Ethel.......maybe we have become immune to images of human suffering.

Why do you feel traumatized by it?

It looks like an elephant asleep, there`s no blood and guts

BTW this happened on a trunk road

[know-noknow]

Could`ve been worse, could`ve been hit by a Jumbo Jet
