In Srilanka Farmers Use Elephant to Plough
People watch while farmers use an elephant to plough a paddy field in Kegalle, about 77 km north of Colombo. Sri Lanka has long wrestled with a human-elephant conflict that kills dozens of animals and people annually. In 2007, 193 elephants died in Sri Lanka, the vast majority shot, poisoned or electrocuted. Some were run over by trains, others fell down wells.
