@ttmto 'them' can be used for both singular and plural, most commonly used plural but singular for living things that you would not normally call 'her' or 'him' (like animals). But now that I have read it again, I would change the 'them' in 'just making them do stuff' to 'just making the elephant do stuff' to avoid confusion between the two them's

Ye I would say it's grammatically correct and somewhat natural. I would move 'just' to after 'not'
