After announcing she was on hospice care earlier this week, the decision was made to humanely euthanize her yesterday evening.
Julie Barnes, the zoo's director of animal care and health, said in a press statement before Little Mac's death."We held out hope that she would bounce back, but her bad days now greatly outnumber her good days."The zoo's beloved elephant suffered medical issues that were common in geriatric elephants, as well as some new problems, including gastrointestinal issues, weight loss, lowered activity levels, and a loss of appetite, according to the press release.
