People have been trying to persuade the 15 elephants to return to the north, and have been through food induction, truck containment, hoping that the 15 Asian elephants will soon "get lost" and return to their hometowns, but everything humans have done has not stopped them from continuing to go north.
We know that the best strategy against "disobedient" wildlife is anesthetic, after all, the last time the mountain king "Wandashan I" mistakenly entered the village, it was through the anesthetic to put down and then remove the threat. Since the anesthetic can deal with the Mountain King Siberian Tiger, it must be able to deal with the elephant.
But these 15 elephants have been gone for many days, so why don't they see the experts using anesthetics to put down the elephants? Experts can only say that it is firmly forbidden to use anesthetics on elephants.
In fact, it is not that experts are reluctant to use anesthetics to put down elephants, but that they really can't afford to provoke elephants.

First of all, we have to start with anesthetics, although we now have anesthetics specifically for elephants, but elephants are different in size, the dosage requirements for anesthetics are also different, if there are fewer anesthetics used, when transporting elephants, elephants wake up early, elephants will feel threatened, at this time they may attack humans. If too many doses of anesthesia are used, they can cause accidental death of the elephant.
Secondly, there are also higher requirements for anesthesia occasions, and the best anesthesia occasions are away from the water and at the same time a relatively open area. Stay away from the water because elephants may suffocate to death if they are poured into the water after anesthesia.
The open strip was chosen because the elephants were so heavy that they needed to be transported with specialized equipment, while the forested areas had winding roads that machines could not access and carry.

Secondly, elephants are social animals and have a very strong social and calf nature. In elephant populations, the female elephants are the leader, and the elephant herd "leaves the female and not the male", so the elephants of the same population are more or less related (except for the adult males).
In social life, baby elephants are protected by all the adult elephants in the population, and when migrating, the adult elephants will protect them in the middle of the population; when the baby elephants are hungry, they can also find non-biological females to breastfeed.
Elephants are also very social animals, and when they encounter the remains of their kind, they will gently rub each other's bones with their long noses, as if to greet each other. And they attach great importance to the remains of their kind, and occasionally visit their remains.
If we anesthetize one of the 15 elephants going north, in the eyes of the other individuals, you are harming their companions, and they will argue with humans to protect their companions, which may cause human injuries.

Elephants' memory is amazing, and studies have shown that they remember what happened years ago.
In the 1999 Elephant Sanctuary in Hornwold, Tennessee, an elephant was restless, but after encountering a strange elephant, they quickly became acquainted, like old friends who had been reunited for a long time. It was later learned that the two elephants had been in the same circus for several months, but that was 23 years ago.
Scientists also found that in 1993, Tanzania suffered heavy casualties, many elephant populations suffered heavy casualties, but some elephant populations were unharmed, and after research, the leaders of the unharmed population were older, they had experienced the great drought 30 years ago, and remembered the routes they had migrated.
Because elephants have an amazing memory, once someone has hurt an elephant, the elephant will retaliate against it, no matter how long it has been. Foreign countries have reported that an elephant once stuck its nose into someone else's house out of curiosity, and the owner of the house saw it and pricked the elephant's nose with a needle. As a result, 20 years later, the elephant met the man again and retaliated against him.
Of course, elephants will remember those who helped them, and Lawrence dedicated his life to protecting wild elephants and providing habitat for wild elephants, saving 15 elephants from the muzzle of human guns. And the day after his death, rangers told his family that a herd of elephants was rushing toward the house where they lived, and it should be noted that the group rarely came to the place where humans lived.
When the elephants arrived, they discovered that the elephants were mourning, and this sound was only made when the elephants were paying homage to their companions.
It is precisely because elephants have an amazing memory and can remember the people who loved it and hurt them, so once humans bring bad memories to elephants, elephants may regard humans as objects of revenge, and from then on, all members of the family may regard humans as enemies and become a time bomb.
Because of this, we cannot use narcotics violently, but use food as much as possible to induce them, but at the same time we cannot supply food in unlimited quantities, otherwise they may become dependent on humans and stay local.
