Elephants in the Indian state of West Bengal are to undergo a birth control scheme due to a lack of funds for their upkeep, the state government says.

Of West Bengal's 400 elephants, nearly 70 are tame and in service to private owners or the state forest department.

Forest guards use them to patrol the many wildlife sanctuaries.

But wildlife conservation groups have been angered by the proposed introduction of such birth control methods for the elephants. (BBC)

These people are so assinine. What do they THINK should be done...give Mr Elephant a giant condom. Isn't this better than them starving to death? And WHY WHY WHY is it such a shame for an elephant but perfectly NORMAL for our own 14 year old teens?
