What is the most unusual story you have ever heard involving an animal?
This was an actual story which was happened in the World War Ⅱ.
There were three
elephants in the
Ueno Zoo, Tokyo, but
because of the war, there was no food for the animals. Breeders in the zoo
thought elephants were dangerous for people when they couldn’t control
them. So they decided to kill the elephants. However, the elephants' skin was
so hard that they couldn’t inject the poison. So they thought they
should starve to death the elephants.
A few days later, elephants were very hungry. One of the elephants began to perform tricks to get food.
Then the others began to perform, too...The end of story was that elephants starved to death. But they were performing till they couldn’t move.
I
like elephants because of their eyes. They look very kind. But I know
they attack people or other animals when they protect their-self or
their family.
When I was a child, I read this book. I was very shocked and I couldn’t stop crying. First,
I thought why animals were killed for people. But if I was in the time,
I thought the same thing as the breeder. I think these elephants were
so clever and I would like to see them.
