The Elephant Hook in Circus Control
The article describes an elephant hook used by mahouts to control elephants. The iron weapon, about twenty inches long and four to six pounds, features a spike and a curved boat hook. It is pressed into the head and used to pull on the elephant's ear, a method described as merciless but essential to prevent the animal from trampling the rider. The hook deters rebellion and keeps the beast manageable, though it provokes audible indignation from the elephant.
