Several investigations were launched after a Spanish man in Kenya posted videos that poured beer in an elephant boot – causing anger in social media.
It was lifted in the wildlife reservation, drinking a tusk from a can of a popular local beer before giving the rest of the elephant.
“Just Tusk with a search,” he ordered one clip, posted on Instagram, which was later removed from his account after the back reaction from the Kenyans in the comments.
The BBC analyzed the footage and was able to conduct authentication as valid. Landscape and the famous bull-lady indicate that he was shot on Ol Johi in the Laikipi Central District.
An employee of the employees related to the BBC in private ownership of the wildlife sanctuary was shocked by behavior – and said that the video would be handed over “appropriate bodies”.
“This should never happen. We can not allow it,” said only an employee who was identified only as Frank.
“We don’t even let people go near the elephants.”
Kenya’s wildlife service (KWS) also conducted an incident, said the BBC agency’s press secretary.
The person involved does not use his name in his social media accounts who have a variation of the Skydive_kenya phrase.
In another clip, which shared on Instagram on Tuesday, he is seen to feed two elephants of carrots, and then says, “We are in beer.”
Video on Instagram has attracted hundreds of critical comments – with some calls for a person’s deportation – before the messages were removed.
The elephant, which gives the beer, has a large size, with long tusks – in particular, as well as damaged.
From other images and videos posted on the Internet, it corresponds to the description of Bupa, a friendly man in Ol Jogi, which is often shared by visitors.
Bupa was rescued from a mass elephant in Zimbabwe in 1989 and brought to preservation when he was eight years old.
Ol Jogi says he lives about 500 elephants and concerns one of the pioneers for rehabilitation of children -Syraty and their ejection into the wild.
A man who participated in beer videos describing himself as “adrenaline” on Tiktok on Monday posted a video in which he was seen in the neighboring Ol -Pigeta who fed a rhino -free carrot.
“He also violated our rules because he didn’t have to touch the rhinos because they are not pets,” said Thige Njuguna of Ol Pejeta BBC.
He confirmed that the rhino on the footage was from their natural reserve, adding that Ol Peet was not home for elephants.
D -Nr Winnie Vinnie, Kenyan biologist and environmentalist -Slana, called the behavior of tourists “unhappy” because he threatened his life and elephant.
“About 95% of elephants in Kenya are wild, and it is incorrect to create messages in social media that give the impression that you can get closer to elephants and feed them,” she said the BBC.
The incident happened only a week after a group of tourists was lifted, which blocks the migrating Valbest in Kenya’s mass during the annual wildlife migration – one of the greatest spectacles of wildlife in the world.
Viral staff showed that visitors jumped out of the cars safari, the crash of rivers and forced moisture in the waters that are infected with crocodiles – causing the shutdown.
After the incident, tourism and the Ministry of the Wildlife announced tougher rules, sending tour operators to comply with the rules of the park, providing visitors in vehicles, except for the designated areas.
He also promised to improve the signboards in the wildlife parks and strengthen visitors’ education.
Maasai Mara Wildebeest migration attracts thousands of visitors annually and is considered one of the most revered assets of Kenya’s natural heritage.
