There's no denying that human encroachment has a tendency to make things worse, but accidents are accidents and they happen. I remember watching a documentary once about these elephants somewhere in SE Asia (forget where exactly) that would literally migrate along these narrow paths on these sheer cliffs. There were plenty of elephant skeletons at the bottom of the cliff. There may be plenty of things humans can be blamed for but this would be not be one (for a change!!). Wish I could remember more about the documentary, sorry.. I tried googling it but ran up short in the time I gave myself to find some corroborating site.
But all I really mean is that animals aren't so sagely wise to never have accidents in the wild. Life in the wild is harsh man. Eat or be eaten, etc...
