I don't get the point of hanging it. Like if you're gonna kill an animal why not just shoot it?

Most lower end hunting guns struggle to pierce the skull of a cow, you would need like 30 cal minimum for an elephant.

Products of their time as we are of ours, something they didnt know or understand, anger/outrage. Common people think its a crazed beast 1/2
Dismang
not realizing its an animal lacking sentience and was only reacting on instinct. Even today people think the same of their pets and animals.

If you had ever worked with an elephant, you'd know they're pretty damn sentient.

They sold tickets, so....

Bloodlust.

A 45/70 would do it. That rifle would kill a T-Rex.

Pubic humiliation
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
Did her elephant friends and family show up?
noahwkemp
Yes, not many people know this but all of her elephant relitaves showed up.
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
Successful humiliation then. Well done humanity. Considering a grieving elephant mother will stand over a dead child for days, that'll work.
Flyndaran
Wouldn't that require mocking her genitals?
hellofromafar
True.. I forget how much of a show people likes back then.
dotslashsandwich
Brutal.
noahwkemp
Yeah, families would just have a picnic at someone's hanging. Dinner and a show!

I think you need a specific type of gun and bullet to be able to kill an elephant. They probably just had better access to a crane.

It's America I'm sure they had some beast guns.
darkdragonempress
Not as many as you would think. This was early as fuck 1900s. Regular hunting rifles were plentiful but elephant guns were a rare breed 1
darkdragonempress
That tended to be held only by professional hunters and some rich people pretending to be hunters. Not a lot of them in that part of TN. 2
QuaqueNocte
Yeah but being it's America, they were probably too lazy to try and find some and saw a crane and was like "..That'll do."
