Elephants Are Taken Everywhere
Elephants are part of society and even families in India. People who own them always include them in almost everything they do, for instance, a family will do everything possible to ensure their beloved elephant accompanies them to events or ceremonies in faraway places, even if it means charting a boat.
We think these guys needed to hire a bigger boat for this elephant for this particular trip, but maybe this is all they could afford and the elephant had to be part of the trip. We just hope the boat didn’t topple over and that they got to the other side safely.
