  Elephant Domestication  
 
 
 

From the religious evidence, it said that domestic elephants were caught by using loops. It is believed that Indian people domesticated elephants for working and as a vehicle about 4,500 years ago. A book said that the first domestic elephant of the world was an orphan elephant, which was domesticated by a kind man. That kind man loved the orphan elephant. And he once had orphan the elephant hauled and loaded. Another book believed that the first domestic elephant of the world was baby elephant whose parents were killed for ivory. It is considered as one way to damage nature. It was a human' s big mistake over 4,500 years ago.
