World briefs: Heroin elephant out of rehab
Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), Sept 5, 2008
CHINA: An elephant that became addicted to heroin at the hands of illegal traders will return home tomorrow after a three-year rehab programme. Xiguang, a four-year-old male Asian elephant, became addicted after he was captured by smugglers along the China-Burma border in March 2005. The traders fed the elephant bananas laced with heroin as bait and to pacify the creature, China's official Xinhua News Agency said.
It has been receiving daily methadone injections and has now fully recovered, Xinhua said.
