On June 17th 1903 an elephant named Sita killed a keeper who was nursing her injured foot, and was put down by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary. That incident may have given a bad name to the Zoo in Bloom's mind. The Zoo is still a popular Dublin attraction, and is a member of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP).
