OK, Ok, I know I really shouldn't laugh because 3 people died, but come on - how can you read that headline and not at the very least chuckle to yourself.

They'll probably go the same way as poor Topsy.

 

Topsy (born circa 1875, died January 4, 1903), was a domesticated elephant with the Forepaugh Circus at Coney Island's Luna Park. Because she had killed three men in as many years (including a severely abusive trainer who attempted to feed her a lit cigarette), Topsy was deemed a threat to people by her owners and killed by electrocution on January 4, 1903, at the age of 28. Inventor Thomas Edison captured the event on film. He would release it later that year under the title Electrocuting an Elephant.
