Default Who would you shoot, and why

So imagine a scenario where you had to either shoot a female mother elephant dead

or

a convicted male murderer




Who would you shoot and why

If the human was 100% definitely guilty (verified video evidence, or whatever) of an unprovoked murder of an innocent person then I'd shoot them just 'cause. Any other scenario I'd shoot the elephant.

What has the elephant done to deserve shooting?

I'd give them both a 5 minute head start then hunt them down like a bounty hunter.Whichever i shoot first then the other one survives.

You also have to factor in which would make you more money.A murderers teeth or an elephants tusks.Also you could make stuff like a coat or bag from elephant skin.Human skin not really.

I don't think I could kill another person. It's not to say that I think the elephants life is less important in this scenario, and there are situations where I think people don't deserve to live depending on what they've done. But if I had to pull the trigger myself, I don't think I could bring myself to shoot a person. So I'd choose the elephant, but only in a situation where I was forced to

I'd be tempted to shoot the murderer, but then I'd probably shoot whoever was making me choose.

Is there some meaning to this thread or is it just a pointless choice?
