It really pains me to write this article, makes me wonder where our human race is headed towards when even the simplest of manners can cause harm to peaceful co-existence of other species, leave alone fellow human beings. But what has to be said, has to be said. So here it goes ,
Thanks to Ellen DeGeneres for taking that epic Oscar selfie that “broke microblogging websites”, selfies now have become a cultural phenomenon across the world. But selfies are fun when taken with friends, family and even random people as long as they fall under the homosapien category. Apparently, taking pictures of oneself making weird faces is not enough to get facebook likes, now people want to take selfies in front of wild animals!
For instance in the case of this young man trying to take a selfie in front of an elephant, they are TAMED and not DOMESTICATED and can tend to be unpredictable.They are very intelligent, gorgeous, majestic and charismatic animals to an observer from a respectable distance.Not just a selfie, any activity of feeding or going close to any captive elephant or other wild animals for photography, thrill or blessings (some believe when an elephant touches one’s head with its trunk its counted as blessing) may result in disaster at any moment.
Never entertain anyone (yourself / children / any spectator) to go near animals even if they are TAMED and look very calm.
