Lin Hao stared at the display board, shock coursing through him.
So many people had been crushed to death by elephants, something he had never heard of before.
He had thought that carnivorous predators like tigers and bears might be more dangerous but those incidents seemed to occur only in the circus or zoo settings. He had never really heard of anyone being killed by a tiger in the wild. Instead, it was the seemingly gentle giants, the elephants, that had such a brutal side to them.
Putting himself in the shoes of those living near these creatures, a wall couldn't stop them, a single stomp could flatten a person, and they wandered around looking for food in the fields, he figured he would be constantly on edge, even losing sleep at night.
Why was the conflict between elephants and humans so intense, even to the point of being described as tragic? Was it because there were too many elephants, or was it a lack of food that drove them to raid crops? Was there any solution?
