Euthanasia of Elephant Named 'Kamala' Sparks Outcry Amid U.S. Election Frenzy
As the U.S. election season brings unexpected stories, the euthanasia of Kamala, a beloved zoo elephant, has stirred emotions nationwide. Following the controversial euthanasia of social media's favorite squirrel, Peanut, the loss of Kamala has intensified public debate and may even influence the election's tone. Discover the story behind this tragic decision.
The U.S. election process was closely followed worldwide.
In the election that began on November 5, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off. Throughout the months-long campaign, numerous intriguing events unfolded, and both sides occasionally drew criticism from voters.
Recently, the famous squirrel Peanut was euthanized due to rabies concerns.
Peanut, whom a citizen had rescued from the wild and turned into a social media phenomenon, was seized by state officials. Although petitions were launched to save Peanut, it was announced that the small squirrel had been euthanized.
Now, following Peanut, an elephant named Kamala has also been euthanized.
Kamala, who lived at the Smithsonian National Zoo, had been struggling with osteoarthritis for a long time. In a statement from the zoo, it was noted that efforts had been made over the past few years to maintain Kamala's health and quality of life, but her condition had worsened.
"Due to Kamala's declining quality of life and poor health, our animal care staff made the decision to euthanize her."
Social media quickly reacted to the fact that an elephant named Kamala was euthanized during the election period.
Some interpreted this decision, taken before Kamala Harris's race against Donald Trump concluded, as a "message."
Republicans saw it as a favorable sign for the election, while Democrats suggested that Trump 'deserved the same treatment.' Many also noted that the timing of the euthanasia decision was far from ideal.
