Heavy Metal Used To 'Calm' Teen Elephants
    #9323107 -

Metro.co.uk reports that zookeepers looking after a trio of African elephants are playing them heavy metal music to improve their behavior.

Staff at West Midlands Safari Park in Bewdley, Worcestershire, UK say the troublesome teenage giants are instantly calmed down when they hear the twangs of rock legends such as BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN, METALLICA and DEF LEPPARD.

But turn off the anthems during their morning eating and bathing ritual and stroppy adolescents Jack, Lataba and Five throw tantrums and start pacing.

'The elephants love it. It's just such a good distraction for them and a good way to keep them calm,' said keeper Bob Lawrence.

I'd love to see what Death Metal does to them, hopefully they don't go on a rampage and try to takeover. Not sure how I'd defend myself against an Elephant, thankfully I'm a beast-master!

The human experience is such that we are caught between being monkies and gods.  It is up to us to decide which direction to go in.

When I was a teen, I listened to Slayer to calm me down, when I was all pissed off.
True story.
It was rather effective too.

This song in particular
