MORE THAN A BASKETBALL, AN ANTHEM TO THE LIVING.
A VEGETABLE SNEAKER IN HOMAGE TO THE TOPSY ELEPHANT
The name Topsy was inspired by an elephant born in Asia in 1867, and who died in New York in 1903, after spending her life in captivity in a circus.
Defending himself against abuse inflicted by its owners Topsy eventually kills a trainer while he was trying to make him eat a lit cigarette. To punish her for this act, it was decided to condemned to death by electrocution in a public place at Coney Island January 4, 1903.
Naming this elephant after her, who has become the sad emblem of cruelty towards animals, is our way of paying tribute to her memory, and our way of calling for greater consideration of animal life.
