In India there are problems with wild elephants making their way into cities as the two habitats collide (a lot like the deer problem here). There is help in the form of a 14 year old girl known for her Elephant Whispering. She explains how first she prays,then talks to the herd telling them this is not their home. She then walks with the elephants back into the forest. The girl first discovered her talent after her mother was killed by wild elephants. India is home to 60% of Asia's wild elephants. I wonder if this teen could have a word with our "Packy" at the Portland Zoo and find a way to restore his health? For those of you not located in Oregon or unfamiliar with "Packy",he was the first elephant born in the Portland Zoo,he is now 51 and being treated for TB but his liver is not tolerating the treatment,so his future is unknown at this time.
