    How many people do elephants kill?

    How many people do people kill?

    People suck.

      I was going to say- maybe that’s the right attitude?

      Elephants are very smart and they aren’t destroying the planet.

        Yeah, this is definitely a “he’s making a point, just not the point he wants to make” kinda thing. Maybe if he said that Europeans care more about elephants than they do about Africans, it would have been a little clearer.

          How about globally? Elephants knocking down more trees than humans? What is it, like, 50/50? 60/40?

          Did you know elephants clearcut the rainforest to raise cattle? And they invented crack! Heck, they’d vote Democrat if we’d let ‘em.

            There’s about 400,000 elephants and 8 billion humans, it’s not a fair fight.

      The amount of people that elephants kill is not 0. Though, most of the human deaths that involve elephants are probably the human’s fault.
