An elderly elephant with long-standing health issues was recently euthanized at the Smithsonian National Zoo, in Washington, D.C.
The elephant was thought to be around 50-years-old, which is old for an elephant. She was humanely put down and sent to that big jungle in the sky after the Smithsonian announced over the weekend, after her physical condition had "irreversibly declined."
Oh, did I mention that the elephant's name was Kamala?
Seriously.
Kamala had been struggling with severe osteoporosis and the zoo did all they could to preserve her health, much like the DNC did all it could to preserve their political power. But alas, in both cases it was for naught.
The zoo decided that "Kamala's declining quality of life," coupled with a "poor long-term prognosis," worsened to the point that they felt compelled to make the euthanasia call.
Kamala was born in Sri Lanka around 1975 and orphaned as a calf. She first lived at an elephant orphanage in Pinnawalla before being moved to the Calgary Zoo in Alberta, Canada. She was then transferred to D.C. in 2014.
Kamala Devi Harris was born in Oakland, California. As a teenager, she moved to Montreal, Canada and eventually attended college at Howard University as an undergraduate student. She then attended law school at the University of California, Hastings College of Law (now known as UC Law San Francisco) through a program for students who've experienced major life hurdles such as economic hardship or educational disadvantages, in spite of both parents having PhDs and being well-off.
Kamala the elephant had better credentials for getting into a law program than Kamala Harris.
