History Fact
In Ancient Asia, death by elephant was a popular form of execution.

They could be taught to slowly break bones, crush skulls, twist off limbs, or even execute people using large blades fitted to their tusks.
In some parts of Asia this method of execution was still popular up to the late 19th century.

Sometimes the internet is good.
