An elephant expert said that the animals were in musth, a period when their reproductive hormones soar, and that said temple authorities had ignored proper procedures.

Seventeen people were injured in Sri Lanka when two elephants ran amok at a religious festival, police said.

"The pair should not have been used in the pageant. There was a clearly laid out system to assess the condition of the animal before allowing it to participate," Jayawardene told AFP.
