    An elephant in eastern India killed a 70-year-old woman and then returned to her funeral to trample her corpse. The incident occurred in Odisha state on Thursday, police said. Maya Murmu was at a tube well drawing water in Mayurbhanj district’s Raipal village when the wild elephant appeared out of nowhere.

    After being trampled, Ms Murmu was taken to hospital where she died from her injuries, police officer Lopamudra Nayak was quoted as saying to the Press Trust of India news agency. Reports said when family members gathered for the funeral and were in the middle of performing last rites, the same elephant appeared, lifted Ms Murmu’s body from the funeral pyre and trampled it again, as shocked mourners looked on.

    Gotta wonder what she did to deserve that.
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    The story leaves a lot out.

    It does reinforce the lesson that a pissed off elephant can be judge, jury and executioner should it make up it's mind.

    One of the gnarliest videos I ever saw was a Circus elephant that got tired of being poked and prodded. The handler learned that Elephants have a FAFO limit.

    It stomped on him, kneeled on him repeatedly and then threw what was left of his carcass an impressive distance.
