Allow me to explain,when this trope was in YKTTW it was pointed out that this was People Sit On Chairs,by several tropers,and Stock Animal Diet apparently already covers this pritty well.

Anyway,cutlist or rework?

I say you've got the bases covered in your post. Vote for cutlist.

We should at least move the examples over to Stock Animal Diet before cutting.

It can't be Stock Animal Diet -and- People Sit On Chairs unless that is literally all the animal actually -can- eat in real life. It's Stock Animal Diet But More Specific.

It is NOT accurate that peanuts are the primary or even the preferred diet of elephants. It is very much a media generated trope, though one that dates back to circuses and the like.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_elephants_actually_eat_peanuts

he following information is from the Center for Elephant Conservation and the information is hosted in an FAQ on the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey website: http://www.ringling.com/cec/ponder.aspx

WHAT DO ELEPHANTS EAT? Elephants are herbivorous (vegetarian). Their staple diet is 150 - 250 pounds of hay per day with some additional grains, fruits, and vegetables. In season, elephants have been known to enjoy pumpkins and watermelons. It is untrue that elephants love to eat peanuts. And they drink large quantities of water: 30 to 50 gallons per day.

No, this is not People Sit On Chairs. It is a Stock Animal Diet, and one for the most part duplicates the Elephant-Peanut entry already in Stock Animal Diet.

Not quite. There are enough examples for this to be a trope, plus it is notable becuase like it has been pointed out, it isn't something that happens on Real Life.

Plus, I think it would be better to see which ones of those diests have enough examples to be separated tropes, and leave Stock Animal Diet as an Index and the place to list all the other examples.

Meh. I'm normally a splitter, but unless the page itself is getting unwieldy, I'm inclined to leave it on Stock Animal Diet.

Fight smart, not fair.
