Answer 3

Tusks, not husks.  Elephants are mainly hunted for the damage they do to peoples' property and injury they cause by attacking humans.  They are by nature roaming animals, which doesn't work well with territories which have been taken over by humans for farming.  Human populations have encroached heavily on their natural territories over the last 100 years.  Whenever there's a fight between humans and animals, animals lose.

Answer 4

cos they are a bad shot and need big targets, so its either them or fat people
