Imagine a 2 ton rabbit in your garden, every day.
Elephants compete with humans for food.
I'll bet you wouldn't long tolerate a herd of them foraging in your backyard.

On the whole, elephants. Africans kill hudered of times more Africans than elephants do.
Western medicine, Western hygiene, and Western do-gooder mentality has helped to allow Africans to procreate way beyond what their environment (or their native economy) can support; only AIDS and the occasional inter-tribal genocide can cull their numbers a bit. That's the bitter truth.
Besides, no one is trying to import millions of elephants into the USA to live off our welfare system and commit crimes, and I've yet to hear an elephant whine about "racism" and sue me for job discrimination. Yep; I definitely prefer elephants to Africans.
