On August 20, 1994, the poor, suffering 20-year-old female elephant Tyke, who on several previous attempts tried to escape but was recaptured and kept in captivity instead of being relocated to a wildlife park or rescue, being abused and beaten for years as a circus elephant, including from her alcohol- and cocaine-addicted trainer who had been the focus of numerous previous complaints of animal abuse, escapes from the Honolulu circus arena and dies bellowing on the streets of Honolulu from nerve destruction and brain hemorrhaging after the pig cops of Honolulu bravely pump 87 bullets into her crumbling, blood-soaked, sobbing body (August 20, 1994).  REMEMBER TYKE!

The San Diego Zoological Society acquired Peaches in 1953 from a circus, and she remained at the San Diego Zoo until the Wild Animal Park opened in 1972.  She had lived in the warmth of Southern California for 50 years before being shipped to Chicago!  Tatima and Wankie, both born in 1969, were purchased from a private individual and brought to the park in 1971 before it officially opened.  (One source states that a private individual brought Tatima to the United States from Zimbabwe in 1969; perhaps Wankie had the same journey.)

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had written to the Lincoln Park Zoo director and begged him not to take the animals, stating they would “not last more than a few years.” They were ignored. The group wanted the elephants sent to one of two sanctuaries in the country where they would have been able to bond with other females and roam freely outdoors year-round.  In the wild, elephants walk 30 miles a day.  One of their former keepers in San Diego noted that placing the elephants in the Lincoln Park Zoo “is like me putting you in a closet.”

After the ladies arrived in Chicago, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals kept track of their well-being and knew their health was declining.  This was easily predicted.  The cold winters had forced zoo keepers to keep the animals indoors in a small-sized jail, with its orthopedically and medically dangerous concrete floors.  When massive animals take a step in the wild, natural environment, the grasses, sod, and soil muffle the concussion that occurs when the foot lands.  When walking on concrete or pavement, no such shock- absorbing effect occurs.  The damaging effects exceed the orthopedic ones.  When that force hits the elephant's body, the concussion is transmitted through the legs, and upward through all the organs of the body, rupturing their cells.  This occurs notably among the delicate cells of the alveoli of the lungs.  That is the source of the well-documented prevalence of deaths due to tuberculosis, a disease of the lungs, among captive elephants and other large mammals. As the many organs in the body necessary for digestion are also damaged, emaciation is also a common occurrence.  Damage to brain

Remember Tatima (October 16, 2004), Peaches (January 17, 2005), and Wankie (May 1, 2005).  Top: Peaches (left), then 52, seen with Wankie, her 33-year-old companion, in 2002 at the San Diego Wild Animal Park where they had resided together with others for more than 30 years. Bottom:  The two in jail at the corrupt and frigid Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.

Tatima arrived with a crippling left rear leg injury, which left the leg badly swollen.  She was apparently never treated while in Chicago.  As the social outsider, a common occurrence when placing three elephants together, Tatima was shunned.  Wankie spent all of her days at the Lincoln Park Zoo and Crematorium neurotically swaying and bobbing from side to side in her cramped, shared space.  All three ladies suffered significant weight loss residing in their cramped cell.

This cold, calculated, cynical, and callous act devoid of compassion was followed by Marius’ body then suffering the indignity of being dissected in public in front of adults and children, sending the potent message to the kids that such lives are worthless, and the fed to other zoo animals, again in front of the children.  Psychology Today magazine expressed outrage and disgust, nothing that the children were being taught that killing animals for entertainment was acceptable.  The Copenhagen zoo director argued, in an incredulously outrageous statement, that this had educational valid

for the children, providing an understanding of the anatomy of a giraffe.  Seeing bored, depressed, and often neuroses-laden animals resulting from life-long captivity pacing, swaying, or circling constantly teaches children nothing about real animal behavior, let alone a dead animal being fed to lions, tigers, and leopards on the concrete in a zoo.  Parents certainly wouldn’t take their children to prison to teach them about human behavior.

A tiger was killed by another at the Leipzig (Germany) Zoo when a partition separating the two was removed in an incredible act of ignorance by a prison guard (March, 2016).

A male lion, his whole life spent in jail at the zoo, and lioness, who was rescued from a circus, were murdered at the Santiago (Chile) Metropolitan Zoo by shotgun-wielding human beings after a worthless fellow human being climbed into their enclosure, removed his clothing, and walked toward them while praising his Lord and Teacher Jesus Christ (May 21, 2016).

===Harambe===

Harambe was a gentle Western lowland silverback gorilla, an endangered species, incarcerated at the horrific Cincinnati Zoo.  He spent his entire 16 years in jail, born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, and transported to the Cincinnati Zoo in April 2015.  A young boy, neglected and ignored by his ignorant parents, climbed up and fell into Harambe’s enclosure.  Images clearly show that Harambe was protecting the boy, but the patronage-worker, job-protecting zoo keepers slaughtered him with gunfire (May 28, 2016).

Arturo, the polar bear referred to as the “world’s saddest animal,” suffered alone in the 100- degree prison of the Mendoza Zoo in Argentina.  A petition to have him moved to Canada was signed by more than 400,000 people but the zoo murderers ignored it and poor Arturo died in misery on July 3, 2016.

Motshegetsi, a glorious lion originally from Namibia, but shipped to that same Leipzig (Germany) Zoo from its previous concentration camp in Basel, was murdered by prison guards when they failed to simply tranquilize him after he escaped from his jail cell (September 29, 2016).

Aurora, the female 29-year-old white beluga whale, died at the Vancouver Aquarium after she began exhibiting symptoms days after her calf died, later to be found having suffered severe liver damage (November 25, 2016).  Aurora died just nine days after her calf, 21-year-old female calf Qila, the first whale born in captivity in Canada, died of a similar illness (November 16, 2016).  Both were thought to have died from “mysterious” circumstances, probably a virus, bacteria, or poisoning at the hands of killer human beings.  The Vancouver Aquarium lacks adequate security for its captive animals.  On Nov. 25, 1986, staff found a door pried open, murky water in their tropical tanks, and approximately 750 fish on that water system either dead, or dying.  Among the murder victims was a lion fish that had been in jail there for 15 years, moray eels, and a young sawfish.

Two of the three Bengal white tiger cubs, six-week-old infant brothers, of Tigryulia, one of the white Bengal tigers (a manmade hybrid of tigers, horribly interbred by zoos and animal parks to keep their distinctive white coats and therefore subjecting them to severe genetic problems) in the Yalta (Crimea) Zoo, dead of the cold when the no doubt Vodka-swilling zoo director failed to provide heating generators (December 4 and 6, 2016).
