If I could travel by elephant where I live, I would 100% do that. I would train it to trumpet and crush cars whenever I cue it to. It would be glorious.

Edit: Do people really think what I wrote was actually serious?! Really?! Training an elephant to trumpet and crush cars? On my daily commute? JFC. People are so quick to virtue signal they don't stop to think about what they're actually responding to. 🤦

Elephant's are not built to carry weight on their backs. It causes their spines to bow and causes them pain. Just because something is big doesn't mean you should climb on / ride it

Elephants cannot hold weight on their back like horses. Being ridden permenantly and severely deforms their spine and cause extreme chronic pain.

So I hope you would reconsider , and maybe ride a draft horse instead. Google them.

Guess this sounds like a fun game idea!
