Mr. Narong, who was guarding a rubber plantation against foraging elephants, claimed that the 25 to 30 year old bull elephant was about to charge at him, forcing him to fire his shotgun once in self defence.

Unfortunately the elephant is not available for a statement

Well about time.

Pims are not necessary anyway.
