In the process of moving north, elephants don't always walk in the forest. They break into inhabited villages. The place they walked through was devastated. Although no casualties were caused, it brought great losses to those residents.
Some people say, why not stop elephants from moving northward? It is conceivable that this is not an easy task. If anesthetized, the elephant's weight and volume are a big number, so it is very difficult to take medicine. If the dosage is small, if the elephant wakes up during transportation, the consequences will be unimaginable and terrible. If the dosage is too much, it may endanger the life safety of elephants.
Moreover, if any elephant in the herd is attacked, then other elephants will inevitably attack humans. Such an uproar is bound to bring about a "war between man and elephant", which is obviously not a good result. The reason why the elephant suddenly moved northward is uncertain. If it is stopped rashly, it may also cause unimaginable bad consequences.
The news that Yunnan elephants have completely entered the traditional habitat is a relief. For such a long distance, elephants can safely reach their traditional habitats without many people, including some residents of villages where elephants pass and some animal protection workers. They provide food for elephants on the road, guide elephants, monitor the progress of elephants moving northward in real time, and always pay attention to the safety of elephants. Now that the elephant has completely entered the traditional habitat, the safety of the elephant is handed over to the local animal protection association.
