😔 #Happy, #BronxZoo #Elephant at Center of #AnimalRights Case, Died this week at 55
Activists had sued in a bid to secure her the fundamental human right to bodily liberty. #Zoo officials said she was well cared for & called the lawsuit frivolous. Yet, Happy was euthanized after a period of hospice care, prompted by a recent deterioration in her health.
