Rampaging Elephant Restraint SystemEnvironmental Help
Yes, it just might sound impossible, but elephant rampages are actually quite common. There have been many reports on elephant attacks and rampages. They attack their mahouts (owners), cars, and pretty much anything nearby. Some people believe that the elephants are fighting against possible mistreatment (as you can see above with it's legs tied in chains) from their mahouts. Finally, after many attacks, a Mumbai engineer built "violent elephant control gear". This mechanism is wrapped around the pachyderm's leg when bought and if the elephant goes beserk a simple press on a remote control activates the mechanism. The mechanism shoots a wrap around the other leg, and so immobilizes the creature to the point where he cannot harm anything around it. This mechanisim is completely humane and does not hurt the elephant in any way. This object is going to be released sometime soon for approximately $664. The only setback is that some people believe that once an elephant is tamed that it will return to its abusive owner. That may or may not be true based on the physical state of the animal. I would think that if the animal was healthy, it would be returned and if it was abused or hurt, it would be taken to an animal sanctuary for healing.
