Slog - Comments on The One on the Right Is a Killer http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/the_one_on_the_right_is_a_killer The crime: AN ELDERLY circus worker was crushed by an elephant on the North Coast yesterday. The scene: Police said a Stardust Circus worker found his colleague lying on the ground soon after entering the elephant's enclosure in a Yamba park about 5.15 pm. The motive: It is believed it was a 50-year-old female Asian elephant named Arna, which was at the centre of an animal-cruelty case dismissed in 2004....

Would that have been incorrect? I mean, we gave the elephant a name, she can't be a "who"?

Of course it all depends on what they are doing when they attack you. Fucking geese might not be so dangerous.
