What happens when zoo elephants die?

[Gulo_gulo]

I was beat to the Tacoma elephant story, but I know that other then landfills, I’ve heard that another option is pet food.

Mmmm, elephant kibble.

[sub]Personally, I’d try elephant, but that’s another thread.[/sub]

Trigonal Planar, come on, call your local zoo & let us know what they say.

When a circus elephant dies they make hot dogs with it.

Don’t they?

**When the Auckland Zoo’s elephant Rajah died, they had him stuffed and sent to the local War Memorial Museum, where the remains were recently refurbished. They’ll probably do the same for Kashin, the present-day ageing media star pachyderm. **

I love this! Do you suppose vainer elephants get botox?

butchered and incinerated (if it’s being stuffed, i suppose they flay it first, or remove the skelton for preserving) AFAIK.

i don’t suppose there is anything else they can legally do with it.
