They basically charged through the front windows. The circus people couldn't get them under control and the cops had to put them down. Horrifying to watch.
Back in the early 90s I think, one elephant made national news. The circus was using it for rides. Well, like any kid, you can abuse it growing up, but once it gets pissed off enough. This one did. It was tired of all the abuse, ran off trying to shake the people off it's back, started smashing cars. Assholes ended up shooting it.
It is never the animal's fault. If one is going to care for big animals, even giraffes, cute does not equal safe 100% of the time. They will react to starving and or sudden disruption, and hitting and pushing like any kid being abused.
