I think in the world we have today, an African Elephant would live longer because Asian elephants have to carry a lot of weight, with causes stress, depression, and arthritis. Also, the population of the African elephant has about 10 to 20x more living species. The elephants do not deserve to die or to be in captivity.
Research has found that 40% of tourists of the top nationalities visiting said they had been or were planning to ride an elephant, so captive elephants in Thailand gave rides to almost 13 million people last year. Which causes the joints to fail. Elephants have to be broken with chains, jabby things, and are tortured just to be tamed to ride. This is honestly not safe for the elephants or the people.
