Read this passage from “shooting an elephant” by george orwell. what irony does the narrator point out?

as i started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me. they had seen the rifle and were all shouting excitedly that i was going to shoot the elephant. they had not shown much interest in the elephant when he was merely ravaging their homes, but it was different now that he was going to be shot. it was a bit of fun to them, as it would be to an english crowd; besides they wanted the meat.

the burmese natives are following him as he tries to find the elephant.

the natives did not care about the elephant destroying their homes.
