Kamala, a longtime member of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo’s Asian elephant herd, was euthanized Saturday in D.C. following years of struggling with osteoarthritis.
Even while measures were taken over the last several years to preserve Kamala’s health and quality of life, her physical condition had irreversibly declined, the Smithsonian said in a news release.

Kamala the elephant was born in Sri Lanka around 1975, moved to Canada, and was transferred to the National Zoo in 2014.

The elephant finally saw the other Kamala on TV so it quickly euthanized itself.

OMGoodness...
Even if one didn't believe in signs, it's too poetic to NOT be a sign.

When a domesticated elephant passes away, do they keep the tusks?
Are they hard to remove from the euthanized creature?
I imagine they are quite valuable, as they are made of ivory.
They should have performed the deed in Alabama, where the tusks are looser./HT to Groucho)
