Only Precautions

0017-protectionThe video turned into a battleground for a tussle between two parties with opposite opinions. Comments like, “they have to carry hooks in case something should go wrong. Those are wild animals after all,” and “even at my zoo, they must carry them… just for safety, and those elephants are tame as” popped up. All in all, it was a conflict of the views whether the tools were precautionary or abusive with respect to elephants. Some even said that such tools were used in zoos across the world and it was not a big deal that the zookeepers of the Prague Zoo were carrying it with themselves. Amidst this tug of war one thing that everyone was neglecting was the fact that Max was safe and sound. The brief period for which Max was laying on the ground was extremely testing for Janita, but, thankfully she is now living a peaceful life with her son in the zoo.
