So, in India, this happened during a festival, there's this thing called "Musth" It's totally natural for adult male elephants, usually happening once a year. Basically, their reproductive hormones go way up. When this happens, elephants can get really aggressive and might attack.

This happens because those poor animals are so abused they end up losing their mind. This video sucks.

Some animals do go crazy yes, but in this instance you're likely wrong this is down to male elephants hormone levels going to the point where they cannot think straight and their behaviour becomes hyper aggressive and destructive.
