A Taiwanese museum and an amusement park on Friday dropped their plan to use braids of 320,000 pieces of human hair to lift an elephant, in an attempt to create a new Guinness World Record. The feat was forfeited after several animal rights groups protested the act saying it could scare the animal and was cruel. The National Science and Technology Museum and the Wan-Pi World amusement park in south Taiwan had planned to lift an elephant chained in a wooden frame with five 40-centimeter ropes made of human hair.
