I was looking through some old video tapes and their was one that caught my attention. It was a show about animals that “went wild” their was a clip of an elephant that broke out of a circus, ran into the streets and proceeded to stomp everybody out. They had to damn near bring out the army out to stop him/her.
What immediately crossed my mind was how do you capture and “domesticate” an ELEPHANT in the first place?
I was told that that if they are not born into captivity they hunt and kill the parents. Then they take the baby and tie it to an immoveable object (a giant tree, a wall) with the heaviest chain they could find. As it grows and feels as though there is no use in trying to escape you need no longer put a heavy chain and attach it to a wall. All you need do is use a rope and attach it to a stick in the ground and it usually won’t give you a problem.
I can't seem to get that out idea out of my head.
