Second, more people are killed by elephants every year than elephants by people. Third, when a village loses it's entire crop in a couple of nights and the herd is culled by the gov't. Once dried, the meat from those elephants will feed the village for a few months while they await gov't aid. Unless they live in Zimbabwe.
