Because, elephants are so big that if they were kept in captivity, they would either die because there wouldn't be enough room for all of them or because they wouldn't be able to move around enough and they would become very unhealthy.

The reason that is is a problem to kill elephants is than when you kill elephants and take the ivory, some of the offspring (young elephants of any other young animal) end up with no tusks. Also, if you hunt the elephants too much, they may go extinct meaning there will be no more elephants anywhere in the world.
