Maybe I should have said "Domesticated Indian elephants." You're back to talking
about "wild" elephants that "belong to the people."

Proves my point.... As long as there was a "use" for elephants, and people were
allowed to own them for their personal use, there was no danger of them becoming
extinct. As for the rest of the world, I must say that not having ever seen a
"do-do bird" doesn't seem to have had a detrimental effect on me... And since I
can no longer buy elephant-hide boots, and never had a desire to own any ivory,
the extinction of elephants would not effect me much either. I don't think they
were "put here" for entertainment purposes (i.e. vacation trips to Africa, or even
to the zoo, to "see the elephants.")
