Elephant clean after detox

An elephant that became addicted to heroin after being fed spiked bananas in China is to return home after undergoing detox.

The four-year-old animal, called Xiguang, received methadone injections for a year at five times the human dosage, state media said.

It was illegally captured by traders in 2005 in south-west China, reports the BBC.

When police arrested the traders and freed the elephant, it was found to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

The elephant's eyes kept streaming and he made continuous trumpeting noises, the Beijing News newspaper's website reported.

It is thought that the traders fed the elephant bananas laced with heroin to capture and control it.

Xiguang was sent to a wild animal protection centre on Hainan island in south-west China for rehab, the official Xinhua new agency said

He is expected to arrive at a wildlife park in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, on Saturday.

Elephant = good

Winehouse = Bitch needs to die already
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

sad People suck. It's one thing to do drugs yourself, but to force them on another being? Not of the good.

Even if they are of your species. It's not fair to destroy someone else's health and life.
