Paris Helps Drunk Elephants 2007-11-13 by BallsToTheWall | 17 Comments | Paris Hilton has decided to shed her party girl image by helping drunk elephants get to their feet.
GAUHATI, India - With Rwanda off her charity calendar, Paris Hilton has turned her attention to the plight of ... drunken elephants in India.
"The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them," the 26-year-old socialite was quoted as saying by the World Entertainment News Network's Web site.
In the wake of her jail term for an alcohol-related reckless driving case, Hilton is seeking to remake her image from club-hopping party girl to world-traveling do-gooder. She announced plans to do charity work in Rwanda, but the trip was postponed until next year.
Then opportunity for Hilton's "global elephant campaign" knocked last month when six parched pachyderms broke into a farm in the state of Meghalaya and guzzled farmers' homemade rice beer. The elephants went on a rampage, then uprooted an electricity pole and were jolted to death.
"There would have been more casualties if the villagers hadn't chased them away. And four elephants died in a similar way three years ago. It is just so sad," Hilton was quoted as saying in last week in Tokyo, where she was judging a beauty contest.
Sangeeta Goswami, head of animal rights group People for Animals, told The Associated Press: "I am indeed happy Hilton has taken note of recent incidents of wild elephants in northeast India going berserk."
"As part of her global elephant campaign, Hilton should, in fact, think of visiting this region literally infested with elephants," Goswami said.
Hilton's publicist couldn't immediately be reached Tuesday to verify her comments. Another conservationist said elephant alcohol abuse was just a symptom of the real problem. (No, he wasn't talking about celebrities.
"Elephants appear on human settlements ... because they have no habitat left due to wanton destruction of forests," said Soumyadeep Dutta, who heads Nature's Beckon, a leading regional conservation group. "A celebrity like Hilton must focus her attention on this fact.

she does realise that elephants don't actually walk into off license's and buy 20 bottles of Jagermeister and that they're just eating the fermented fruit from a tree? And that stopping that's pretty hard.......

| | |

| | |

| | |
Holy shit drunk elephants?! Who would even try stopping that! Thats awesome.
| | |
I saw the headline for the elephants on msn last week "Elephants electrocuted in drunken rampage". :lol:
| | |
It actually depresses me when money is tossed around on crap like this when disease and starvation is running rampant. Not that disease and starvation will ever cease, but still...Jesus Christ...
| | |
...meanwhile up to 20,000 people die every month in Darfur from starvation, malnutrition, and preventable diseases. Way to get your priorities straight, Paris.
| | |
Ruining the moment with your negativity guys, thanks. Come on, drunk animals.
| | |
my bad, I mean...l00k drunkdid animalz hurtings themselveses! Paris is s000 n00b, gawsh.
| | |
Yeah, the t-shirts and money saved Darfur, near miraculously. I rather unironically think this is sort of cool. I had not heard of this issue before. And the title's awesome.
| | |
Lol! Id kill to watch drunken elephants shock themselves to death. Come to think of it, their tolerances must be through the roof, I would imagine it would take a few bottles of vodka go put one down
| | |
It would have been funnier if they didnt end up dead, sucks that they did though. Funnier if they just terrorized villages and trampled homes in a drunken stupor.
| | |
Now, this is Paris Hilton we're talking about. But given how often I've defended Bono against retards telling him to spend his charity money on heroin and put out another good album, I'd be a hypocrite if I criticized her too harshly.
I suppose it's better that conservationists in India get the money instead of whoever Paris gets her cocaine from.

What a dumb bitch...
| | |
Well, this is one thing Bono hasn't done....
