Although I sympathize with the plight of Oliphaunts in the hands of the Haradrim, I am surprised that you (onewhitetree) focus on them when the mounts of the Nazgūl, both flying and land-bound, were the victims of a much more insideous program of mistreatment. Not only were they terribly mistreated, but they were also the end-result of a hideous breeding program. The Mouth of Sauron's beast would also fall into this category. What are the woes of Oliphaunts when compared to these?
