Forest officer Parveen Kaswan tweeted the video that shows a man speeding away on a road blocked for a herd of elephants to pass. He almost ran into an elephant who was crossing the road and sped away. The biker left the elephant standing at the spot for a couple of seconds and continued to go on its way.
Kaswan criticised the biker in his caption saying that the most difficult part of wildlife management is managing humans and urged his followers never to do what this man did.
You know what is most difficult part of #wildlife management. Managing the #humans. Even after blocking the road by staff this person decided to cross it while others were waiting. Just missed by fraction of a second from becoming a memory. Don't do this ever. pic.twitter.com/CbL0e3gCDj

Penalise thm & seize their vehicles sir. Place a heavy penalty if unable 2 pay, imprison thm atleast 6months min. based on the damage caused. Enforcing law only can change such human's sir.

Humans the most dangerous animals on this earth

At times Humans can be the "most uncivilized animal" on Earth, after that the blame will come on the Wild Animals as well as the staff managing & protecting the wild!

Agreed. Even ants, one of the smallest creature are more disciplined than the humans.

penalize, its high time we understand and respect laws if one doesnt want to fall in line, we need to ensure that they fall in or face consequences

We are risking animals lives not humans...& we are entering their territory not they are.
