D: Bailey Brothers Circus, Oklahoma and Kansas
Chrissie the elephant escaped frequently, even dismantling the electric fence; she threw hay, grass and stones at people and had a reputation for cornering and pushing circus workers. Despite this potentially dangerous behavior, the circus allowed Chrissie to be fed by the public, separated by just a small metal barrier.
April 17: Chrissie escaped by lifting up the electric wire (which was turned on) and walking underneath it. Several workers ran after her with elephant hooks.
April 19: Chrissie tried to escape and threw grass and hay at people during the day.
April 20: Chrissie escaped, so was chained up for most of the day. She threw hay, stones and grass at people.
April 22: Chrissie tried to escape by dismantling the electric fence. Her trainer said that he thought she was becoming accustomed to the shock.
