Showman Garnier moved with his menageries throughout Europe. For his elephant he had designed specially for transporting special car, which ensured the animals during transport. The two elephants came in the course of their presentations, the one in Venice (1819), the other a year later in Geneva (1820), out of control and were, as they were not tame again, each shot with a cannonball. The view to meet runaway and unruly elephants with the cannon in the 19th century was quite common. In addition to the Württemberger elephants (Death in Venice 1819) Garnier possessed a second, who came from Bengal and he had bought in 1814 in London. The animal was gentle and docile and possessed only one tusk. Garnier left it to his daughter. In May 1820, Elephant with Mademoiselle Garnier in Geneva showed his tricks. he had become unusually restless through shooting practice at a nearby garrison. When leaving the city he fell suddenly panicked and allowed him back into town to run in hopes of more easily to him there again to catch what the Mademoiselle succeeded by could lure him with treats in the courtyard of the Bastion Hollande. There, the elephant began to riot by knocked ammunition wagons and carriages, with his trunk turned the towering wheels of some cars and threw cannonballs around. Although the garrison commander and the herzugeeilte mayor had decided to let off steam the elephant, was Mademoiselle Garnier, perhaps in memory of the devastation of last year in Venice, on the killing of the animal. Multiple Zureichungen toxic in higher doses, including arsenic, which took the animal to be willing, were unsuccessful. As increasingly onlookers began to gather, it was decided to kill the elephant with a cannon. It broke a hole in the courtyard wall and shot the curious hurrying animal a cannonball in the head. The skeleton and the skin came into the Natural History Museum, the meat was distributed among the population, it is reported, was received well in spite of the poison contained therein.
