That would be a scary situation to live in.  It is sad that the people feel like the government cares more about the elephants and animals than the people.  These people must learn how to live with the elephants, but it seems like it is a scary thing to do.  I would hate to try and live in that situation with children.  I also think that anyone who is going to visit there should be made aware of the dangers of the elephants so that they don't get injured or killed like the 29 year old woman did in the article.
