Joyce the Elephant
The first news photo I have is actually from Milwaukee. I have always been tempted to go out and try and find this spot in the city to see if it still exsists. Anyway, the caption reads:"Milwaukee, Feb 18. - A parking meter served as a hitching post for an elephant named Joyce today after she and four colleagues, all circus performers, arrived for a Milwaukee appearance a day early and had to spend 24 hours on the street before they could get into the city’s sports arena, where a basketball game was scheduled. "
Poor Joyce! Where was PETA back then? The only thing I can hope is that ALL of the performers had to spend 24 hours in the street, and not just Joyce. And is it just me, or is Joyce pretty small? God, malnourished and forced to stay in the street! It just gets worse...

This makes me very sad.
Yes, I think this location needs to be found on the streets of Milwaukee. In honor of Joyce.
Maybe Joyce is a dwarf and as such doesn't like to draw attention to her shortness, but would rather live life like a normal elephant.
