Elephant execution in the United States information


Men gathered in San Francisco, 1936, to shoot an elephant called Wally (UC Berkeley Libraries, BANC PIC 2006.029)

Elephant execution in the United States, sometimes elephant lynching, was the killing of an elephant in order to punish it for behaviors that had inconvenienced, threatened, injured, or killed humans. Elephant execution is distinct from both elephant euthanasia (in which the animal is ill or otherwise incapacitated) and from killing an elephant that is in the midst of an ongoing attack or "rampage." Elephant execution is a ritual process with a pseudo-legal or performative aspect. Documenting the execution or the body with film or still photos was not uncommon.
