ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chunee

Chunee was an elephant that lived a long time ago in a place called England. He was very famous and lots of people came to see him and watch him do tricks. Chunee was very big and strong, and he could do lots of things like carry heavy things with his trunk and lift up big logs.

But even though Chunee was famous and people liked to watch him, sometimes he wasn't treated very nicely. Sometimes people would hit him or not give him enough food or water. Chunee didn't like this, and sometimes he would get upset and try to run away or even hurt people.

One day, Chunee was very upset because he wasn't feeling well and people were still trying to make him do tricks. He got really mad and started throwing things and trying to escape. Unfortunately, he was so big and strong that he ended up hurting himself and some other people.

Even though Chunee was gone a long time ago, people still talk about him because he reminds us that animals should be treated kindly and not forced to do things they don't want to do.
