Headline: "Orwell Shoots Tame Elephant"
Yesterday, George Orwell shot a man's elephant who was in 'must'. The elephant's owner was out of town and could not repremand the animal. This is when Mr. Orwell stepped in and took care of the problem. The pachyderm caused the casualty of one native and was last alive eating grass peacefully. Many people gathered to see the life of the majestic animal cease. It took several shots for it to fall to the ground and it did not die swiftly enough for it to be a humane kill. The Burmans had taken all the things they could use from the dead elephant, by the afternoon there was nothing left but the skeleton. The debate between wether Orwell's actions were ethical or not are arised. It was decided to be legal concidering the death of the 'coolie'
