Hmm, please don't accuse me of speciesism. The same quality that allows me to recognize what exceptional and wondrous beasts elephants are tells me that we are indeed a species far apart, and that I may ascertain by this and other "higher faculties" that your life is of infinitely greater consequence than that of an elephant.
I agree that this baby elephant's death is very sad, and would greatly prefer that it had survived. That would be a very cool thing to take my kids to see, as part of their ongoing instruction in the appreciation of nature.
