The elephant in the parking lot

Friday, March 30, 2012


From The Irish Examiner:
Shoppers in a Cork city suburb got a bit of a surprise yesterday when an elephant decided to wander around a retail carpark before charging up to a traffic junction.

GardaĆ­ were called to the Blackpool area after the animal broke free from a nearby circus.

The circus is currently situated at the site of the old Sunbeam factory, which is just three minutes away.

The Indian elephant appeared to be in quite belligerent form, refusing to be led by his keeper.

Despite the efforts of the two circus employees, the elephant made another dash for freedom, running towards the nearby Blackpool Shopping Centre.

The runaway was eventually stopped at the traffic lights and escorted back to the circus.
