The Needle and the Damage Done

[snurri]

This:

The four-year-old bull elephant, called either 'Big Brother' or 'Xiguang', was captured in 2005 in southwest China by traders who used bananas spiked with heroin to control him.

Makes me want to kill. On the other hand:

A year of methadone injections at five times the human dosage . . . helped wean Xiguang off his addiction.
