Elephants regularly raid crops and eat a month's worth of a family's food in a night.
Then when humans get mad and take revenge, they get in trouble because other humans who don't have to grow their food in a village near a park explained that Europeans killed to many elephants before, and now no one else can because it's gross to make statues out of something's teeth.
More evidence that humans are not smarter than elephants.

Another fun fact: elephants dont have to work and pay taxes and yet humans claim to be the more intelligent mammal.

But nobody told elephant, just killing elephant. Elephant doesn't know.

They have to work (gather food and water) but they can keep 100% of the profit for themselves

Nonsense, they could if they wanted but are already so big it's not worth their time to bother.

Sure they can do whatever they want but over time the bad memories take their toll.

So can every living thing.
Well, if it can physically do the movement, I guess.
