Scuba Forum / General / January 2008I warned you of the dangers of ELEPHANTS
and the need to carry insurance in the form of concealed anti elephant guns but you ignored me. This man may still be alive today except for the restrictive gun laws in Australia :-) Elephant crushes circus worker in Yamba Posted Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:28pm AEDT Updated Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:54pm AEDT A circus employee has been crushed by an elephant in Yamba, on the north coast of New South Wales Sorry I couldn't bring you this news earlier but I have been away watching some cricket in Melbourne and than doing some fantastic dives on the South coast of NSW including a magic shore dive entering the water just as the sun came up for the New Year. Hope everyone had a good New Years night and that this coming year is good to you On Jan 1, 3:38 pm, "dechucka" <dechu...@vomithotmail.com> wrote:> > A circus employee has been crushed by an elephant in Yamba, on the north > coast of New South Wales Maybe after enough are killed, people will begin to understand that keeping elephants in circuses isn't nice. I don't think God approves of circuses at all. If people are being killed for their stupidity of trying to house animals in cages / mistreating them, then I think God is smirking over it.

OK so it's Gods retribution? and I thought it was because he wasn't carrying a gun. I'm so confused God, guns and I thought I'd subscribed to a SCUBA ng.

Don't try to put words in my mouth. But it is more of why was that animal in that cage in the first place. Don't you understand that animals should not be harmed in this way? Are you a Christian ? Do you believe in the Bible ?

WTF has god got to do with any of this. Slavery was and is approved by GOD, if slavery of humans is allowed then why would he disapprove of keeping an elephant in my back yard for entertainment. Anyone that brings up god in any approve/disapprove sort of context is a nut job, especially in this group. If you say that you personally do not like the idea of keeping caged animals, that I can respect. "God is smirking over it." when referring to a tragic loss of human life displays your total lack of compassion and shows the group that you have a total disregard for anything taught by our lord Jesus Christ. It's people just like you that will use the term "god spoke to me" while testifying from the witness box. On a lighter side the brewery once imported an elephant for a publicity tour here. They had to print off thousands of fliers and do public education lectures to the villages that could not read to the effect that they should not kill the giant pig. I'll see if I can find a cite.
