Thank you Charlie. 

Elephants, like this one with tusks. are hunted by poachers, so how is he to distinguish tourists from poachers? What has the world shown him but to have a well justified fear of mankind? 

I know that you do not get close to an elephant as that car did. Not onlythat but the elephant  turned a few times and gave a warning to back off (flapping his ears and making himself look larger). Instead of slowly reversing the car actually moves closer to the elephant. The elephant did what was natural and defending his herd when he felt threatened.

It is devastating that such a magnificent animal was shot due to the stupidity of the driver. The elephant was doing what elephants do.   As Al, said she should be charged for this.  So should the authoritys for shooting him, how the hell can you justify that?  The car windows would have shown his reflection too. He would not know that humans were in the car either.
