My condolences to the families of the deceased. This is what happens when you force wild animals into idiotic religious & other events.

Where are the animal rights activists? why don't we leave the animals in their habitats to lead their own lives?

This is why animals should not be used as entertainment or in parades and such, then when the animal runs wild there's nonsense talk about putting the animal down, i personally am against such things. Animals belong in the wild and not to entertain human beings.

It is high time that we give up these primitive methods of parading animals in so called Peraheras in this 21st century. It is only uncivilised barbarians in deep African jungles who do so in the name of religion.
