There are even records of elephants snoring while deep in sleep!

For the same reasons that every species is worth saving. They have their place in the natural order of things. It is we humans who have disrupted the balance of nature in countless ways and in countless places. But since you asked specifically about Asian Elephants, it is because they have a very high degree of intelligence, they are self-aware (which means they recognise themselves as individuals. Dogs on the otherhand do not have that ability). They live in tight family groups. We as humans could, and are, learning a lot from the elephant about compassion, trust, loyalty, forgiveness and acceptance. This is true of all the elephant species.
