Drug-addicted elephant kicks heroin habit

BEIJING - A once drug-addled elephant fed heroin-laced bananas by illegal traders will return home after emerging clean from a three-year detox program on China's tropical island province of Hainan.

The four-year-old bull elephant, referred to alternately as "Big Brother" or "Xiguang" in state media reports, was captured in 2005 in southwest China by traders who used spiked bananas to control him.

After police arrested the traders and freed Xiguang a few months later, the elephant was confirmed to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms and sent to a wild animal protection center in Hainan for rehab, Xinhua news agency said on Thursday.

A year of methadone injections at five times the human dosage had helped wean Xiguang off his addiction.

Now clean, Xiguang was expected to arrive on Saturday at a wildlife park in Kunming, capital of the elephant's home province of Yunnan on the mainland.

Xiguang's return would cap a 1,500-km journey home, Xinhua said, and mark another step in the elephant's triumph over addiction.

      Some people have no souls. That country is famous for its animal cruelty, people who eat house pets are not people, but animals themselves. China is a emerging country that prides its culture. Hopefully, in the near future there disrespect for the animals of this planet will improve.



    34. 34

      Random..

      Re: momtoall

      I actually dont talk about people unless they give me a reason too…I dont say anything directed towards anyone other then Andy, and a few other people….and nothing demeaning or disparaging…its people like you who are the ones who Im referring too who are here to start fights with people to entertain yourself for the day…if you honestly think that we're gonna stop what were doing because you dont like it then TRUST your fighting a losing battle….and that's a FACT. so in other words, you may as well leave or sit down and shut the fuck up. that is all



    36. 36

      Re: Andy27No thanks! You're TOO gay for me!!!

      Re: abercorey

      Ohhhh……I am so scared. I do know though that people like you do not go away, you thrive on this kind-of shit. And you are a bold faced liar to boot. You do attack people first, just by your nasty comments. you are a very offensive person. mom & dad must be proud, but I suspect you do NOT act like this around them. I will say you are not AS bad as andy, but do not take that as a compliment.



    38. 38

      That's a great photo of Artie Lange, looks like he's lost a little weight :D

      Re: abercorey – Hey there sweetie - I understand hating work. I love my job but it must suck for others who don't really like their jobs. So why not get an instant messaging system? Must we all push the scroll down button so often to skip past your stuff? Just a friendly suggestion.



    53. 53

      Stupid Beijing people.



    54. 54

      Actually elephants are exceptionally intelligent - they can do math, read, paint, and can remember familial graveyards for over a century. To think that someone (or multiple someones) would do something so disgusting, breaks my heart. If they catch them, I hope with all of my heart those fuckers are drawn and quartered…alive. Who the hell needs animal cruelty on this earth.



    55. 55

      Is this the elephant the Paris saved??? LOL



    56. 56
