The human beings has the capabilities to tame the wild animals. He uses his sixth sense . No matter how big the size was. Have you ever seen the elephants at temples they simply obeys the orders of the mahouts. The mahouts wields an ankush or a kind of stick in his hand and he just presses it above the elephant's ear the animal just obeys it how?
It has been trained to do the task right from the calf stage. The animal that of the size of the elephant can remain defiant but it can't . In the same breadth, the mahouts should also learn sometimes, elephants overpower the mahouts because they take the elephants for granted. So everyone should obey the lakshman rekha. do you know how wild elephnats are domesticated? with the help of an already domesticated elephant. It is this domesticated elephant which really "forces" the wild elephant to accept it "fate".
The same analogy found in human beings it is the fellow human beings who really pushes the other person to do some sordid activities.
As human beings we learn many things from animals. Afterall, they are our ancestors.
