Mary was an Asian elephant who worked in a circus in the United States in the early 1900s. In 1916, during a parade in Tennessee, an inexperienced trainer hit her with a hook, and Mary retaliated by killing the man. As punishment, and in front of thousands of spectators, the circus decided to execute her: Mary was hanged from a railway crane. The incident is remembered as an example of animal cruelty and the brutal treatment of circuses of the time.
