A story about Mel Gibson's Elephant


"Chicken Hunter heard a rumor that these Elephants were targeting the Jewish village down the dirt road from the village that was attacked. Beer and Elephants are two things that don't mix. Much like Mel Gibson on the Gin these elephants need to hire a P.R. person and say they are sorry."



A HERD of elephants drunk on rice beer has trampled three people to death, including a four-year-old boy, on a rampage through a village in the northeastern Indian state of Assam.
Residents of Teok Kathoni tried to scare them off using drums and firecrackers, but the elephants consumed the remote village’s stocks of rice beer, then charged through huts, killing the boy and injuring his eight-year-old brother.
It was the latest in a string of incidents over the past fortnight, which wildlife experts have attributed to human encroachment on the elephant’s natural habitat in the region. Assam has India’s biggest population of elephants, estimated at 5,300. Until recently, they lived in relative seclusion in the dense forest that covers much of the region near India’s borders with Bangladesh, Burma, Bhutan and China.
