Due to all the anti-poaching laws, it's probably illegal to own elephants at this point. Assuming someone is willing to farm these creatures, they need to have some seed stock in order to start breeding (even if it is on a large game-farm). Good lucky trying to get any government to sell you some elephants that you will be trying to breed. Then again, you get yet another side that thinks it's perfectly OK to destroy the existing supply of confiscated goods. I.e. Burning large amounts of ivory, just because.
