While humans carry out social distancing, a group of 14 elephants broke into a village in Yunan province, looking for corn and other food. They ended up drinking 30kg of corn wine and got so drunk that they fell asleep in a nearby tea garden. 😂❤️

🙏 Give this the attention it deserves. Spread awareness and demand @jairbolsonaro puts an end to the destruction of the Amazon.
