"Tuskless elephants were safer for circus performers to handle, as well as for the elephants themselves. Supply for these elephants was rare, and demand for them was high. One man in particular, a circus owner named Luis Lorenzo, made over $40,000 a year ($220,000 in 1986 dollars) from the sales of his private menagerie."
