I think this goes back to a culture that used to "gift" elephants to people they didn't like. As the elephants were sacred, you couldn't kill the elephant, and as it was a gift (usually from a royal) you couldn't give it away either, and you also had to take GREAT care of it, so what you would be stuck with is a massive liability that ate a ton.

Oh wow, I didn't know that but I guess it makes sense.  It's like the opposite of the goose that lays a golden egg!
