19 16, an American elephant was sentenced to be hanged by a court and hanged by a crane. Why?

Nature! We are always surrounded and caught by her: we have neither the power to separate her nor the power to approach her. She didn't send us an invitation or warning, but she took us directly into her flying dance steps and made us spin until we fell from her arms exhausted.

In today's society, human beings learned to reconcile with the animal world from the beginning, and began to habitually reduce slaughter and advocate maintenance. But such progress has gone through a long time. Before that, human beings tried to control the whole biological system by relying on their superb IQ and strength far higher than other creatures.

However, under the repeated warnings of nature, human beings began to think deeply. What did I get and what did I lose? As the largest herbivore, elephants maintain the balance between habitat environment and ecology. At the same time, many things on it are very valuable, such as ivory, which criminals will sell even if they break the law. Because of its huge size, elephants are also used as human "playthings" to exercise. 19 16 years ago, a circus once had an elephant. Why once? In the same year, the elephant was sentenced to death and severely punished by hanging with a crane. Then why on earth was this elephant punished so severely? This also starts with a performance in the circus.

19 16 In the American town of Kingsport, the arrival of a circus attracted the attention of many people in the town. Because there is a star elephant in this circus, everyone calls it Mary. He is called astrology because he is really smart, spiritual, able to stand up and do many difficult movements. That's why he became the sign of this circus. "The largest land animal on earth" became its poster slogan.

Mary is an Asian elephant. She was caught by hateful poachers at an early age and finally sold to a circus. In the circus, Mary was deeply loved by her master, who taught her all kinds of movements and took care of her. Who would have thought that such a lovely elephant was finally executed? After the circus came to town, Mary's performance was full. People in the town like this stupid-looking but clever elephant very much. The arrival of the circus not only attracted many people who loved performing, but also made many people have bad ideas, including a young man named Walter Eljili. Why did he say that he had an improper plan?

Because Walter is not only ignorant, but also lazy and always tries to enjoy success, he basically doesn't want to continue to work as that boring and monotonous hotel waiter. Just as Walter was about to quit his job as a hotel waiter and find another way out, the arrival of the circus made him "shine at the moment". He did not expect that it was this seemingly easy job that cost him his life. Although Walter knew nothing about exercising animals, he took a job in a circus because he thought it was easier than serving food and washing dishes all day. At this time, the circus was understaffed, so it agreed and told him to treat animals meekly.

Just like we go to various aquariums and zoos now, standing outside the glass and watching those animals skillfully do one action after another under the guidance of human beings. We applaud them and cheer for them, but we can't see their pain and sorrow. After Walter joined the company, he didn't take the circus advice to heart and basically didn't know how to exercise animals. In his mind, force and flogging are the best tools to make elephants compromise, but he forgot that these punishments are perfect in the face of elephant power. Elephants can't talk, so Mary can only silently endure Walter's preferential treatment and harshness again and again. But not in silence, but in silence to produce death. Mary finally hit back at Walter's bad behavior in a performance.

On her way to the performance, Mary happened to see a watermelon on the roadside. It took a step towards watermelon. Just as Mary rolled the watermelon under her nose, Walter moved. He waved a whip at Mary, and Mary was worried. Gentle and clever Mary rolled up Walter with her long nose, won numerous applause, and slammed him on the ground and stepped on it. Mary's series of actions shocked all the audience, and they were frightened. Someone raised a gun and fired several shots at Mary. Although it didn't do any harm to it, it was quiet. It stood there quietly, no one approached it, and it could not read the eyes of fear and disgust of people around it.

Mary's behavior soon caused an uproar, and many newspapers stopped reporting on the performance. This report is full of accusations and criticisms against Mary. It is these swords and swords that make people forget the cause of the tragedy, the happiness that Mary once brought them, and only remember those exaggerated reports and bloody scenes. The circus had to accept the fact that the government decided to execute Mary. They have no way to protect this companion who lives with them day and night. They want to live, they want public anger. They decided to hang Mary in the most primitive and cruel way. They hung Mary from the crane. When the crane rose, the air was filled with Mary's painful sobs and the excitement of onlookers.

After an hour and a half, Mary fell down and was hanged again. Finally, her sobs disappeared, and cheers and applause rang out from the surrounding crowd, just like Mary who had dedicated herself to the stage before. This farce is over, but countless farce is still on. Many people were complacent about this behavior at that time. They thought they were stepping on animals and standing on top of themselves, but as time went on, history gave them a blow. Human beings are not masters of natural society, but participants. Like other animals, they have the obligation to maintain society, but they have no right to hurt other friends at will.
