Maybe because you are talking about two different speciecies of
elephant...the Indian elephant is semi-tame and is trainable, while the
African elephant -- a totally different species of elephant -- is not, at
least not without an extensive amount of time and money to do so, and
even then it will not be as tame as it's Indian cousin....

Bullshit. The Indian elephant's in trouble due to loss of it's natural
habitat...
>There is no danger of their becoming extinct.
Again, bullshit. An elephant is extremely expensive, to buy, to train
(takes years), and to house and feed adequately...therefore most areas of
the east where the elephant was once used have replaced the elephant with
gasoline-driven vehicles to do the same work, as the gas vehicles are
ultimately cheaper...
