Elephants Die After Beer Rampage
Elephants Die After Beer Rampage
Six elephants were electrocuted after running amok with bellies full of rice beer in India.
Six wild elephants were killed.The herd of 40 elephants uprooted an electric pole while looking for food near Shillong, in the Meghalaya state.
Local conservationist Dipu Mark said there might have been more casualties, had villagers not chased the elephants away.
Conservationists today hailed the socialite Paris Hilton, who was convicted of drink driving earlier this year, for apparently trying to highlight the problem of binge-drinking elephants in north-eastern India.
Activists said the celebrity endorsement would raise awareness of the plight of pachyderms that got drunk on farmers' homemade rice beer and went on the rampage.
Last month, six wild elephants that broke into a farm in the state of Meghalaya were electrocuted after discovering and drinking the potent brew before uprooting an electricity pylon.

just goes to show that you should always eat a little something first if you're going to go out drinking.
