Paris Hilton has found her charitable calling - drunken elephants. I kid you not.

"The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them."

Last month, six wild elephants that broke into a farm in the state of Meghalaya were electrocuted after drinking the potent brew and then uprooting an electricity pole.

"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."

UPDATE: The AP has retracted this story.
