Reply to "Burying the Elephant Patsy"

Thank you all for remembering elephant Patsy, and your wonderful pictures.

Here is the message from a letter that I received from the Toronto zoo:

Sometimes its just so hard to say
goodbye to an old friend.

Patsy, the matriarch of our elephant herd, was indeed our friend. She was special...majestic...stubborn...smart...and clearly, the boss! Patsy had to be euthanized on Monday, July 31st due to an ongoing, and progressively worsening, medical condition. Our specialists fought to save her but ultimately, could not.

You may have seen something in the newspaper about this but in case you missed it we felt our Adopt-an-Animal elephant "parents" should hear the news directly from us. It is always difficult to lose an animal but it is indeed a part of life at the zoo. Even though we will miss Pat she has left us with wonderful memories.

Thank you for being Patsy's friend and all the other elephants: Iringa, Toka, tessa, Tara, Thika and Tequila.

etc...
