The resulting "feast" of meat auctioned off included antelope, camels, deer, kangaroo, yaks, zebra, and (most infamously) [[Wikipedia:Castor and Pollux (elephants)|two elephants]], the first of which suffered horribly because nobody knew how to kill an elephant.

Despite this the non-rich were undergoing mass starvation at the time, so the event was heavily demonized in the late/post-war class conflict.
