REMEMBERING MARY  
Captured from the wild, shipped to America and only having known a life of misery as a circus elephant, Mary was murdered on September 13,1916. She was beat by her trainer yet again the day before she died; Mary had enough, killing the trainer. That day they named her Murderous Mary. That night they shot her but she did not die; instead her beat and shot body spent the night in horrific pain. The next day they hung her in front of a cheering crowd of 2,500 people, mostly children. On the first try the crane gave way and Mary fell to the ground and snapped her hip. They lifted her by the neck again. It took over 10 minutes for Mary to die. Mary was murdered more than 100 years ago but for animals in entertainment, nothing has changed. What we do to elephants and others for a cheap thrill is truly unforgivable. Their is no glory in stolen freedom. #boycottthecircus#boycottthezoo#emptythecages
