I think Orwell is not a coward, because his decision wasn't based on what the other people will think, he was trying to do his work like a cop would. He was just doing what other citizen would do, during that time it was a big deal to hurt an animal, mostly a elephant, because it may mean a lot to some people, for Orwell it was hard ,he didn't want to kill it, but the riot was forcing him to do it. This month  an officer had shoot a dog, in this case the dog wasn't doing nothing , and it was unjustified, because the dog wasn't doing nothing  and the officer shoot him. In the case of the elephant it was Orwell job to do it, the elephant was being aggressive it destroy many things, it hurt a person. I think Orwell wasn't being racist, he was just trying to save his life and the life of the citizens, yes he didn't want to kill the elephant , but he was being force to do it. He was trying to help people and didn't want nothing else to happen to them. He didn't want nothing else to happen to other the city or the citizen, but mostly if the elephant attack an adult, what could be next a little children, a baby or the elephant may had destroy anything else. In my opinion if i was Orwell i would have kill the elephant ,because it was being aggressive and i wouldn't like anything worst to happen., but in another point i would put the elephant to sleep. In  a case it wouldn't had work or it could make the elephant more mad and it would have done something worst. During that time i think Orwell had to decide between safety, the elephant life, the life of the citizens and how would people would look at him as, as a killer or a hero. This essay had thought me that , you have two decision , one good one and a bad one, but it;s all up to you to decide what you want the best.
