Trouble elephant stories miscarriage

Pregnant elephants are very rare, and elephants that have miscarried are not heard. So the female elephant named Y Kham of the Ma Nia family suffered from miscarriage - fetal elephant was approximately 3 years old - is making a tumble in Don village, Krong Na commune (Buon Don district, Dak Lak) .

Culprit

The one who caused the tumultuous land near this Serepok river is a . male elephant named Pak Plang, of the Y Lut family in the same village. The Pak Plang elephant has done a "bad" thing to use the force to take away the Y Kham, making the fish elephant I have a miscarriage.

When we found it, we had just arrived at Y Lít house, located next to the road leading to the land used to hold the district's annual elephant race. Medicine Li breathed out: "I just came back from the forest to make medicine for the Y Kham elephant. She was wounded by her Pak Plang elephant on her back. The Ma Nia house entrusted me to take care and cure more than a dozen people. nowadays". "How does the treatment run?". "I took the medicinal bark in the forest to break it and then put it on its back. Now its wound is also fine."

Y Lít recounted, more than 10 days ago, he and Y Nghia - son of Ma Nia - came to the forest to bring elephants back to transport tourists at Buon Don Tourism Center, and discovered that Y Kham had many wounds on his back. It looks very painful, the next one is Pak Plang elephant. Both of them understood what happened last night. The nearly 50-year-old female elephant is pregnant, tied to her legs, while the 27-year-old male elephant is healthy and muscular. Dark night, male elephants "forced" female elephants, causing serious consequences. Many people in the village also said before that the pleasurable Pak Plang elephant kept chasing after, "demanding" Kham elephant.

One day after the Pak Plang elephant "caused the project", Y Elephant pretended to give birth in the forest. The dead elephant is a male elephant weighing about 60-70kg, covered in fine black hair. Ma Nia's family brought the case to a wholesale meeting to resolve, demanding compensation by the price of an adult male elephant. It was also fortunate that Y Kham did not die after miscarriage, otherwise the case was more complicated.

"Wild" elephants, the owner suffered

At noon on January 28, we went to Mr. Y Ka Byă's house to be Mr. Ma Nia's brother-in-law, in Tri village, to ask for more questions. Y Ka was annoyed when it came to this: "I have said many times that Y Lut did not listen, did not watch its elephants. The elephant, especially male elephants, is often inhibited when estrus, it If you "crave" then you don't know how old the elephant is, if you are pregnant or not, the elephant has to go to four years of birth, it's rare, it's easy to have an elephant, and it's a baby elephant. The forest does not allow hunting anymore. "

Y Ka said: "The custom of the people is very serious. The elephant who damages the owner, the owner of the elephant must be responsible. Even if the two elephants fight each other, one is bitten by the other. also forced the owner of the elephant to worship an elephant, and if this is the lake, then an elephant will die " . But then he came down to his voice: "Saying that, now, the compensation must be reconciled according to the mutual agreement, not to be treated completely according to customary laws, must be calculated according to its actual damage value".

At first, I heard that the price of Ma Nia's house required the Compensation Y to be VND 50 million. But when meeting with traders, everyone said that the price was too high, so it was reduced to 30 million. The wholesale mediation team also suggested that Ma Nia reduce the price for compensation.

We went to the house twice but did not meet Ma Nia, the second was his wife Mi Nia at home. Mi Nia disagreed when she heard that many people in the village said that the compensation price was too high: "Oh, his house (only Y Lit) is not poor, the house has elephants! It must pay at least one third of the elephant big, the dead elephant is the male elephant, the Mi Phuong house on the other side sells the elephant that is more than a hundred million dongs. "

By the afternoon of the same day, we met again with Y Lit, he said, the final price that Ma Nia asked for compensation was 20 million dong and delayed payment for 18 months. But YLut said, such a temple is too high: "I only accept 10 million dong". He argued: "It is just a baby elephant, if it is mature, high value, farmers also have to spend tens of years caring and costing tens of millions of VND. this fee ".

Listen to where the Ma Nia family shot the news, if YLit did not bear 20 million dong, they would write a petition asking the commune and district to arbitrate. It seems that the case has not been resolved as quickly as the people in Buon Don wish .
