It seems like the tuskless Ele would be persona non grata and signifigant efforts would be made to cull them. Their genetic defect would be a liability to the herd. Do they not tend to become ?" Tonda's " (rogue Ele)??

How much would a tuskless Ele hunt cost and/or could it be done cheaper as part of a culling operation taking out an entire group of Ele ??
