Perhaps he can work the elephant kill footage into one of those crazy GoDaddy.com commercials but he'll have to figure out a way to also incorporate a big-breasted woman.

Opponents say there are non-lethal ways to solve that kind of problem.
ORLY? Citation plz.

It's definitely the kind of thing only a super rich CEO/founder of a privately-held company could get away with.

Citation for their non-lethal suggestions or citation for the fact that opponents were saying this? (Sorry, confused)

I was looking for non lethal suggestions (hopefully feasible to this specific village).

All I've heard so far is 'fences', which I think would in reality have to be something like 'concrete wall surrounding everything the villagers hold dear' to actually be a fence that would matter to an elephant.

Maybe they'll annihilate each other in an impressive light show like matter and antimatter?

Actually, I just hope they waste resources and attention irritating each other. Less "show people how meat is wrong by showing women as meat, which is viewed as totally fine and un-noteworthy by much of society and in fact entrenches the idea that women are sub-human things who only matter for their bodies," and less "advertise web hosting services with multifariously objectionable ads that feature totally-unrelated-to-web-hosting inanity and also manages to entrench the idea that women are sub-human things who only matter for their bodies."
