        Does the elephant only haunt the people who buy the ivory? The people that killed it? The people that were middlemen and simply profited off the trade? The mules that smuggle it internationally? This is a lot of work for the elephant to be doing after it was already killed for its ivory.

        Yes this is overthinking it, but why else are we on the internet? :p

              I want to point out this is only me being silly, and not my actual belief.

              So, he provided a service and the poachers utilized the service in the action of transporting the ivory back. The elephant gets to haunt every human tangentally related to his death until he is properly interred.

              Museum workers actually get the worst of this system.
