Elephant in heroin rehab
AN elephant that became addicted to heroin will return home tomorrow after a three-year rehab programme.
Xiguang became addicted after he was captured by smugglers along the China-Burma border in March 2005. The traders fed him bananas laced with heroin as bait and to pacify him.When Xiguang was found two months later, he was suffering from withdrawal and was sent to a protection centre where he received daily methadone injections.
