ursicidal

— The facts, so far as we can gather, are that a noisy party of wild animals, including brown and white bears, arrived at the Hippodrome; that the process of “letting in the jungle” was accomplished by persuading them to walk down what is described as a “rake” into the cellarage of the building; and that a fine brown bear went mad during the proceedings. […] It greatly disturbed the mental balance of the brown bear. Ursicidal mania was his complaint; so at least the white bear was led to believe when his coloured friend suddenly opened an attack on him.
