Elephants and tigers in a traveling Japanese menagerie, c1960.

Erin Gibson said...: I discovered your blog while researching an elephant who used to live at my local zoo. Her name was "Kay" and she lived at Mesker Park Zoo until she killed the zoo director. I found a photo of her on your blog, which had some interesting comments about how she died that I am trying to fact check for a documentary I am working on. I'm sorry to send this request in a comment, but I couldn't find any other way to contact you. If you would, please email me at emgibson0@gmail.com. Thank you.; 23 May, 2013 22:19

Unfortunately, then as now, I don't recall Kay's final disposal after she she was loaded up and taken away.; 24 May, 2013 12:58
Erin Gibson said...: Yes, that is the photo I am referring to. You mention that you heard details later about her, but you say you don't remember them. Is there anything you can tell me about what may have happened to her after she left Evansville or do you know anyone who would have information? Do you know anything about Roy Bible?

The only mention that I can find anywhere on the internet of how Kay died is from "Ole Whitey" in the comments of that blog post. Is there any way of contacting that person? I really need to confirm that information.

I apologize for not starting this thread on that 7/6/07 post, and I really appreciate an help you can offer.; 24 May, 2013 18:41
