Compassion kills people

In 1988, after graduating from University, Hotif Jennings went on vacation to Kenya. During a hike, he met an underage elephant unexpectedly.

At that time, the elephant carried one of its front feet and did not dare to touch the ground, as if it was in pain.

Steve was moved by compassion and decided to help. He approached the elephant very carefully, got down on one knee, examined its feet carefully, and found a large piece of wood chip deeply rooted in the soles of its feet. Steve took out his hunting knife and gently removed the sawdust with extreme care. The elephant's injured foot can finally land on the ground and walk.

The rescued elephant turned its head and stared curiously at Steve for half a day. Steve stood there in horror and did not dare to move, for fear of becoming a victim at his feet. Eventually, the elephant roared into the sky and turned away.

Steve will never forget the elephant, this bizarre experience.

One day 20 years later, Steve and his teenage son Nicholas tour Zoo Atlanta. They came to the Elephant Morning Hall, and an elephant walked up to them. It looked directly at Steve, then one of its front feet lifted and lowered. Then I lifted it up and put it down, repeated it several times, and then screamed loudly. Its eyes were always fixed on Steve as it did these movements.

Steve's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered his encounter in 1988, suspecting that it was the elephant of that year. Summoning up his courage, he climbed over the railing, entered the fence, and went straight to the elephant and looked at it expectantly.

Unexpectedly, the elephant roared several times, wrapped its nose around one of Steve's legs, and threw him hard into the fence, and Steve was killed on the spot.

Afterwards, people speculated that it might not be the elephant of the year, and it should not be blinded by appearances.
