| Tourists are carried across a river while on an elephant safari in the Habarana jungle near Polonnaruwa, , Sri Lanka, September 23, 2003. Diminishing forest cover is forcing the endangered wild elephants in Asia, estimated at between 35,000 to 50,000, to encroach into surrounding human settlements. Hundreds of humans and elephants die as a result of the conflict every year. (Anuruddha Lokuhapuarachchi/Reuters) |

A German man who taught his dog Adolf to give a Hitler salute by raising his right paw has been charged with violating Germany's anti-Nazi laws, a Berlin court said on October 15, 2003. Police investigated after members of the public complained they had seen the man giving the stiff-arm 'Hitler salute' and telling his dog: 'Adolf sit, give me the salute!,' a court spokeswoman said. The man and his dog pose for photographers in Berlin Wednesday. (Tobias Schwarz/Reuters) |
