(Video) Elephant Went On Rampage In Johor Perhaps Cause From Starvation

A post on Facebook went viral recently, a wild elephant went on a rampage on the streets of Kota Tinggi, Johor. The elephant took down some fruit stalls and cars along its path.

Many feared for their lives as the situation was clearly quite scary but what many don’t understand is that there could be an explanation behind the incident.

Malaysian Animal Association posted on their Facebook page explaining how deforestation and starvation could have come into play here for the elephant.

The post said “Starvation is the cause of why the elephant destroyed fruit stalls by the roadside at Kota Tinggi, Johor last night. The action of the elephant targeting and raging on the road caused panic among road users. The elephant is clearly also scared until it crashed several cars in an effort to run and save itself.”

Elephant won’t be wandering in a public area where there are humans around which that will make them scared. The only reason they do so is that they are hungry and are losing habitat, places for them to stay.

The Malaysia Animal Association adds, “Those who make a living by scouting through jungles for housing projects, loggers and other sort of destroyers of forests are the most cruel and disgusting species in our society, as they are also killers. Killers of the environment, killers of national treasures, and killers of wild animals. It is because of them that the world is becoming more and more corrupt.”

Their habitats become smaller and smaller and that what makes them get into human territory while they also might be in a state of extreme hunger and was probably looking for food.
