Following the Sounds
The locals weren’t about to ignore the sounds of distress. A group of people came together and agreed to seek out the sounds of the elephants and find out what was going on. They had to be cautious; even though elephants were gentle, they could be aggressive in the face of danger. The humans had to approach the situation carefully, since they had no idea what they were about to walk into. If they could, they would try to help.
Approaching the Animals
Meeting Up
When the locals arrived at the location in question, they were met by other people who had already been watching for some time. They had been trying to figure out what the best move was going forward, since there was such a large herd surrounding the baby. In some instances, one or two large animals could be tranquilized for a short time. This allowed humans to complete a checkup or rescue without the other animals interfering. However, it seemed obvious that they weren’t going to be able to tranqualize an entire herd! There had to be another way.
