The population of Indian elephants is rising. In India they can't just be culled the way they are in Africa, where there are no religious considerations. The skills of people like Dr. K are going to be called upon even more in the years to come. Elephants are going to be used to control elephants. The domestic ones will be used to help control the wild ones.
Elephants are peaceful herbivores when they're left alone.
But when a farmer empties a shotgun full of rusty nails into its trunk and the trunk goes septic, that elephant becomes a homicidal maniac. There are still elephants living peaceful lives, as they have for millennia. We just came back from South India. It's a place where elephants live in peace. We're going to observe a wild herd in a pristine setting for a whole year.
