Read this paper on human-elephant conflict in India...Thought this paragraph was brilliant! ‘‘The elephants did not come to attack us. Elephant has come for his stomach, just like we do for our stomach.’’ When asked why elephants threatened their village, Rupa said: ‘‘We are bothering them, we are disturbing them, we are staying in their place.’’ Another elderly lady joined in: ‘‘Till we are alive this will carry on. Till man will be man, animal will be animal, till such time this will carry on. Till we are alive we must carry on like this. Human numbers will increase. You cannot take humans and put them somewhere. And elephants, you cannot chase and put them somewhere.’’
