#2 Phuc didn't see the full-grown elephant â one of several dozen owned by villagers in the area â and he ran into it.

Amazing.

The animal lifted him up with its trunk and pitched him several meters. Du said it was the first incident in the area of a tourist attacked by an elephant.

Sounds to me like a simple case of annoyance, rather than attack. Drunkie got exactly what was coming to him.

#3 I'd have to agree - pretty much the elephantine version of "get lost". Now, if the critter'd been seriously pissed off, it would've done a tapdance on Phuc's pointy little head...

Ever see that video of the circus elephant that went after it's "keeper" and had to be put down by the cops?
