Can't make this stuff up... 'Big Brother', China's most famous heroin addicted elephant, is being released back into the wild after rehab. Which begs the question, how do you contain a junky elephant?
A drooling and twitching Big Brother had to be transported to a special park in the neighbouring island province of Hainan for treatment, after cold turkey proved so tortuous at a local centre that "even its iron chain could not contain it", the paper said.
After being diagnosed a heroin addict, park authorities in Hainan spent a year gradually weaning "Big Brother" off its dependence through methadone, regular bathing and massage.
I think everyone can go for a little methadone, regular bathing, and massage. Don't you?
