    I used to live there, for roughly 3 years, this is exactly the attitude that the older people have, they all laugh it off, so disgusting.

    Why enslave a animal then kill it for defending itself

    Mary was forced to leave her native home and would never have chosen a prison life of cruelty and captivity that was forced on her. She had had enough. What they did to her was sick beyond words. It was not her fault. Handler shouldn’t have stabbed her behind the ear. It was all his fault.

    The elephant did no wrong, the man deserved what he got.

    The man deserved what he got. Mary was just defending herself. Calling her “Murderous” is purely disgusting. Laughing about the abuse and death of a gentle creature is maddening to me.

    She had an infected tooth and that handler hit her in the tooth that was infected with his prod. She didn’t deserve to die. So sad 😢

    Mary died so innocently. Everyone around her had their hands stained with blood.

    It’s clearly the circus fault for interfering Mary’s lunch.

    You murdered a pet with a tooth decay who needed an animal doctor.

    Wow! The history of Tennessee just keeps getting better and better who would imagine that we hung an elephant 🤔

    What was the elephant doing in the circus instead of being in the jungle

    Mad at a wild animal for being wild. Sounds like this wasn't the towns first lynching. They'd probably chuckle at that too.

    I would love to go visit Mary’s burial but would have loved even more to be there when this happened because it would have had to have happened over my dead body and this is a fact.
    This story has haunted me since the first time I heard it. How can they even think hanging an elephant was a quick way to go??? Cranes are slow so she suffered and I’d love to piss on whoever’s grave was responsible for letting this happened. RIP Mary, you entertained so many but let your natural defensive nature show 1 time and paid the ultimate price for nothing more than being an elephant. Unbelievable!!!
