| News and Alerts PAWS Bids Loving Farewell to Winky In the early morning hours of April 7th, Winky, one of PAWS’ cherished Asian elephants, passed away peacefully. Born in 1952, Winky was one of the oldest elephants in the United States. Winky had long suffered from joint problems. Her veterinarian from the Detroit Zoo was out to see her, this weekend. According to her night keeper, at 3am she gently slid to her hind quarters and could not get up. The keeper immediately notified all elephant keepers and PAWS’ Directors, Pat Derby and Ed Stewart. Urgent attempts were made to lift her, but she could not stand and support her back legs. “Winky was a wonderful girl. She was a sweet favorite of all of those who cared-for her. She had a happy spring day yesterday – getting lots and lots of attention, and of course, lots of her special treats. We will all miss her terribly.” Derby added. Elephants
