They're probably trying to outdo the bull run in Pamplona in Spain, where young testerone Iberian alpha males risk losing life and limb evey year to prove their mucho macho masculinity (mmm). Now we have the Skibberin elephant run to squash a few Corkonian lepreachauns. Geez guys. Get with the frickin' programme. Buy a chihuahua.

jaysus they must be serving poitín to the efalents in Cork. First Baby runs amok and now another one tipples over. That’s just trunk and disorderly behaviour! Hope the poor squashed Spanish man recovers well and quickly... and the efalents get over their hangovers.

Free Baby! I hope the man is alright. Circus has become a bad word due to the mistreatment of animals.

I heard the elephant objected to taking a bath. Answered to the name Sirpeter.
