英動物園為二戰(zhàn)幸存小象尋找曾經(jīng)主人

Belfast zoo launched a search for a mystery woman who sheltered an unusual evacuee during World War II: a baby elephant named Sheila.

A kind-hearted homeowner kept a baby elephant in her back yard for months during the Second World War because zookeepers feared the animal would be killed in a bombing raid, it has been revealed.

Sheila lived at Belfast Zoo until she was moved to her unusual home in 1941 as the city underwent the so-called Belfast Blitz.

She was one of the lucky ones at the zoo, in the north of the city.

The Ministry of Public Security ordered 23 zoo animals to be killed in case they got free and attacked people, including a tiger, a black bear, a lynx, a hyena, two polar bears and six wolves.

But instead of meeting the same fate, Sheila was walked down the road by keepers to a red-brick house on the Whitewell Road where a woman gave her sanctuary in her back yard for several months until the bombing was over.

Now, as part of the zoo's 75th anniversary, managers are trying to identify the woman who gave the elephant its wartime sanctuary, known only as "the elephant angel".

All it has to go on are a couple of grainy black and white photographs of two women sitting on a garden seat watching Sheila drinking out of a tin bucket beside the back door of the house.

Zoo manager Mark Challis said: "The care provided by our mystery lady is unique to zoo history and we would like to make contact with her family and properly document this gap in our past."

Happily Sheila went on to survive the war, living another 25 years until her death at the zoo in 1966.

據(jù)報道,二戰(zhàn)期間一位好心的房主曾在自家后院收養(yǎng)了一只幼象達(dá)數(shù)月之久,這主要是因為動物園管理者擔(dān)心小象會在炸彈襲擊中遭到不測。

由于1941年貝爾法斯特閃電戰(zhàn)爆發(fā),這只名叫“希拉”的小象被轉(zhuǎn)移至一個平常人家的后院,此前它一直生活在貝爾法斯特動物園。

希拉是位于城北的這家動物園的“幸存者”之一。

英國公共安全部曾下令“處死”貝爾法斯特動物園的23只動物以免它們在戰(zhàn)亂中逃散并攻擊人群,被捕殺的動物包括一只老虎、一頭黑熊、一只山貓、一只土狼、兩只北極熊和六只狼。

然而希拉卻沒有遭到這樣的厄運(yùn),它被動物園管理員帶到了位于懷特維爾路的一個紅磚房里,這所房子的女主人在她家后院為希拉提供庇所數(shù)月之久,直到轟炸結(jié)束。

而今,作為該動物園建園75周年紀(jì)念活動的一部分,動物園的管理人員試圖找到為小象提供“戰(zhàn)時庇護(hù)”的那位“大象天使”。

而他們僅有的只是幾張模糊不清的黑白照片,照片上有兩個女人坐在院子里的長椅上,看著希拉從后門旁的一只鐵桶里吸水喝。

動物園經(jīng)理馬克?查理斯說:“這位神秘女士對于小象的照料在動物園歷史上具有特殊意義,我們想與她的家人取得聯(lián)系,填補(bǔ)這段歷史空白。

幸運(yùn)的是,希拉在戰(zhàn)爭中存活了下來,并繼續(xù)在這家動物園生活了25年之久,直到1966年在此去世。
