The device with remote control named ‘Violent Elephant Control Gear’ was manufactured by the Mumbai-based Saine Engineering Private Limited, said managing director Z Mathew. He told reporters that the elephants in musth or violent condition could be controlled from a distance of 25 metre with the remote control device made of plastic. The device weighing only 8kg could be used for the control of tuskers weighing over 40 kg. Mathew said that the gear costing about Rs 30, 000 a piece would be attached with one of the legs of the tusker when it was engaged in a public function. “When the elephant shows any sign of violence, the remote control held by the mahout is applied and both the legs of the elephant will tie together so as to prevent the animal from moving,” he said. Elephant owners here however were not very enthusiastic about the new device. They pointed out that the cost of the device was too high and the device would necessitate the elephant to carry an additional burden of 8 kg all the time. Meanwhile, in a statement, Elephant Lovers’ Association secretary V K Venkatachalam alleged that the device exhibited was against the rules. He said that the manufacturer had not approved the required certification for the device from the authorities concerned. Without such certification, application of the device on elephants was a violation of the existing rules related to the maintenance of domesticated elephants.
