Is an Elephant worth the lives of twelve humans?

Question

I saw National Geographic, and a man from India said that "humans are in the Billions and Elephants are near extinction? So that means an Elephant life is equal to 12 humans".

Answer 1

i reakon it is! just think how much humans ruin their environment by cuttin down their habitat, SOOOO CRULE!!!!

Answer 2

I do not really care about elephants honestly. What does it do for me that I need to live? Nothing, so I just say...no it isn't.

Answer 3

oh, do you mean that for every 1 elephent in the world there is 12 humans?I thing maybe 1 elephnat for 100 humans maybe or evan 1000 humans??

Answer 4

I guess that makes sense. Elephants are near extinction while the human population is way over crowded. Elephants are in the hundreds while humans are near billions.

Answer 5

Depends on the worth of the individual humans. I wouldn't think twice if an elephant dropped onto a group of riff raff.

Killing two birds with one stone (or is that twelve?).

Answer 6

Worth the life 12 foreigners maybe, but I think people would object if you wanted to trade the life of an elephant for their nearest and dearest.
