The saddest Elephant In The World Died After 60 years imprisonment
Hanako, the saddest elephant of the world, died in Japan. Over 60 years, she lived in a small concrete enclosure at the zoo Inokashira in Tokyo. In her pen was not no grass, no trees; other elephants it is also not seen.
Visitors to the zoo, disturbed conditions of Hanako (according to witnesses, she was lifeless, like a statue, sometimes rocking back and forth), called the park "one of the most brutal and archaic zoo».
Despite international outrage, Hanako Park refused to release the reserve; its representatives claimed that she is happy and healthy.
On Thursday morning, Hanako found unconscious; We tried to move her to the vet, but a few hours later she died. She was 69 years old; born in Thailand, at the age of two years, she was moved to Japan to replace elephants that died in zoos Japanese during the Second World War.
A few years after his arrival in Japan, she was in Inokashira Park, where he spent the next six decades of his life. Deprived of their friendly contacts with their own kind, she began to show aggression towards people. In 1956 and in 2011. she attacked attendants and veterinarians, with the result that for many years she was kept on a chain. Over the years, she had lost almost all his teeth, leading to digestive problems.
This week she was gone - as well as spent most of his life, one in the bare and lonely prison. She was the oldest elephant in Japan, who from an early age was in captivity and never heard of any grass, earth, nor friendship with other elephants.
Rest in peace, Hanako.
Hanako died, but still a lot of elephants in the world who live like her. And they still can help.
