Mbanje, an elephant trained to give rides at Zimbabwe’s main tourist resort, charged and killed one of his handlers. The elephant was then shot by Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority rangers. Mbanje had been held in captivity for several years and had been giving rides to tourists earlier in the day on the day of the attack. This incident once again demonstrates how dangerous keeping wild animals in captivity—and forcing them to give rides, perform tricks, and take seflies—can be, for humans as well as for the animal.
