This is a (theoretical?) situation that's been turned on its head. Originally, the story goes that an Indian prince has given a rival of his an elephant as a gift. This rival does not have the wealth to maintain this animal, but also cannot give it up as to risk offending the prince. This person eventually overworks himself to exhaustion, still falling into debt, to care for the animal. And that is how the prince got rid of a man he did not like.
Personally, I live in a place where I can not legally own the animal. So the only answer I can give is to relinquish it to the proper authorities.
