| Ringling Bros. says the ankus, or bull hook, is used to guide elephants like a leash or a set of reins, not to cause pain or discomfort as activists insist. |

| The records also detail what Finnegan found during one of the zoo's darkest chapters, when one keeper reported in April 2000 that a colleague had abused Rose-Tu with an ankus. |
|
| This time both a San Jose police sergeant and a humane society inspector said they saw Mr. Gebel yell at the elephants and lunge at them with the hook, called an ankus, according to court records. |
|
