Why not sell the elephants to countries that want them or rent them out and use the money to buy food and drill boreholes ans farming equipment

During colonial rule one white man killed hundreds of elephants and he was struck by a lightening and got killed on the spot after some time his tomb was struck by lightening twice in separate occasions. What was this country? It is the land of the Gothama Buddha, Ceylon/ Heladeepa/ Siri Lanka (Jambudeepa/ Ojadeepa/ Waradeepa/ Mandadeepa- names of Siri Lanka during past four Buddhas: Kakusanda, Konagamana, Kassapa, and Gothama)

It was not heartbreaking when the USA imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe right?
You people should better stop how you involve yourself in matters that don't concern you. Stop the way you involve yourself in African matters. you have a lot of problems in your country be busy with your problem and stop interfering with other people's problems. Don't be stupid.

So elephants' lives are more important than humans' lives?
