Usually the most vocal of the Perth Zoo elephants, Tricia remained silent during her depression and grief.

[10] In 2016, a Change.org petition was started by an animal rights activist to stop the elephant-created artwork, claiming that the trainers used bullhooks.

On the day before her death, Kristy Carey, one of Tricia's caretakers, said, "She knows how to take a piece of your heart and she doesn't return it.

[14]Perth Zoo asked the public to not send flowers, but to instead donate to the Tricia Tribute to Conservation Fund, which was named after her.
