Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
I am a frequent visitor to the Lincoln Park Zoo.
I started going there a couple of years ago, when three elephants lived there.
I can’t honestly state that I knew their names.
But I did visit their enclosure after the first one, Tatima, died, and then again after the second one, Peaches, died.
In the past month or so, I went to see the lone survivor, Wankie, three times.
On each occasion, that elephant looked me straight in the eyes.
I am no expert on elephants.
Nor are most of the protesters at the zoo.
But my guess is that Wankie the elephant may have died of grief.
But what do I know?
