			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://ipetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/pinkelephant1.jpg" class="right" alt="Pink elephant" />After only 10 days of coming to you LIVE from the blogosphere, we&#8217;ve already changed our name!  <strike>iPetScoop.com</strike> is NOW <a href="http://ipetnews.com" title="iPetNews.com">iPetNews.com</a>.  We have all the same great pet-newsy content but with a much better name, don&#8217;t you think?  We think so!</p>
<p>News of the name change prompted elephants in northeast India to get drunk on farmers&#8217; homemade rice beer before heading out to rampage the local village (truthfully this is rather sad news for some of the elephants, but <a href="http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/bare.html" title="bare vs. bear" target="_blank">bear with me</a>)&#8230;</p>
<p>Paris Hilton, the New York socialite who&#8217;s famous for&#8230; well&#8230;  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famous_for_being_famous" title="Famous for being famous" target="_blank">nothing</a>, had this to say about the Elephant&#8217;s drunken romp:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The elephants get drunk all the time&#8230; It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>So true, Paris&#8230;  so true.  Her publicist later denied that Hilton said any such thing, but hey if you read it here, it must be true.  She denied to comment on the iPetNews.com name change, but we&#8217;re<em> pretty certain</em> that it&#8217;s her favorite blog for all her pet and animal related news.</p>

<p>1. Click on the title of the article you’d like to say something about, and then scroll to the bottom.</p>
<p>2. In the section where it says “Leave a Reply”, enter your name, email (required, but we promise not to spam you.), website URL (if you have one), and then enter your comment in the big box.</p>
<p>3. If this is your first time commenting in our site, you’ll have to wait for us to “moderate” your comment before it’ll show up. We do this because we want to make sure you’re a real-live person with something interesting to say and not some automated-spam-bot trying to flood us with unwanted ads.</p>
