WE ALWAYS RESCUE ELEPHANTS, BUT THEY DON'T RESCUE US....... ANIMALS ARE ANIMALS EH ?

I don't see any Wildlife Officials rescuing the animals. All I hear/see are villagers screaming and using their old tactics of using crackers to scare the elephants. Anyway, ultimately the awesome jumbos are safe.
