We humans are taking what ever the land that is left for animals and then complain that they attack. We must either look at control of population or not allow to create villages and towns in areas that wild animals live there got to be some rules are laws applied soon other wise no animal sanctuary will be left

Oh!...... what a brave effort by these forest life officers.It's not an easy task to capture harsh Elephants in the jungle. Always they scarifice their lives to safeguard the people from the dangers.
