I'll always feel bad for the oliphants in Return of the King in the same way I feel bad for the rancor in Return of the Jedi.

They're not inherently evil - in fact, they're probably naturally quite gentle (for the most part), but they've been mistreated and forced to do the lousy bidding of evil jerks, and wind up dying painful, unnecessary deaths.
