Who was it who questions that animals have no feelings, feel no pain..no grief? In the train tragedy which mowed down seven elephants, the herd was trying to free two calves trapped in the line. it wasn't just the mother..all the elephants in the herd were making desperate efforts, collectively, to save the young, and lost their lives, brutally killed in the process. Next day, a huge herd of 30-50 elephants revisited the site of the tragedy..they were restless, calling, trumpeting, uprooting nearby bushes and trees, halting the traffic..
this is very well highlighted, elephants are one of the most sensitive and socially organised fellow creatures..in many ways better than humans.
