idk, drawing a line at elephants is kinda silly and arbitrary. It's like saying "hunting is fine up to this point!" when the point isn't human or a major pet-animal (cat, dog, and cat-dog).

Contrary to your silly assertions, the only practical morality is partly tied into the legality which is based largely on conservation efforts. Hunting a species to extinction is generally wrong. However, there's less inherent morality outside of that and it's not going to be anything close to a visibly defined one especially since this is just about hunting *elephants* rather than objecting either to all hunting or all consumption of flesh.

Broadly speaking, hunting with the intention of using the animal for meat has a higher morality than mere trophy hunting but, at the same time, there's nothing to suggest that trophy hunting is inherently immoral even if the practice strikes many of us as distasteful.
