More than half of the elephants in the entire Asian continent live in India. These wild beasts are very dear creatures to the Indian people, and they are everywhere. Considering how large Asia is, you can only imagine the number of elephants living in this humble country. There are domesticated elephants almost everywhere, and 20% of them play major roles in local businesses.
For this reason alone, the Indian people give importance to the animals’ welfare and survival. Aside from aiding their living, the elephants are also closely tied to the country’s culture and religion. Perhaps that explains why the locals couldn’t ignore the screams for help from the massive beasts.
