Science dictates nothing it proves... the key is scepticality or critical thinking. the problem being with wildlife in Thailand, the authorities don't subscribe - they believe in tradition. THe most common argument for instance with elephants is a fallacious appeal to antiquity - "as we've had elephants for thousands of years, we must be right?" This is the kind of thinking that is destroying Thai ecology.

It's a farm - so it is a business for producing tigers - many females are kep alive for speed breeding - so long as they can produce a chain of litters they are proitable - the males are required for sperm. If ever you see pigs suckling cubs and tigresses suckling pigs, this is part of the speed breeding process. Many tiger farms have "wineries" behind or near them - these are for the processing of tiger carcasses into TCM. Animals dont have to be looking good for farming only the nes in public view are kept groomed etc.

BJ - led a single issue government of the hard right which has proved incompetent at every turn. Single issue governments are notoriously inept and running countries. -

Anyone who genuinely falls in love with a foreigner will be unable to bring them home unless they are above the national averae wage - that means that about 73% of the UK population don't qualify - notably retirees and pensioners. -

THere is one situation that comes to mind - an elderly Brit on enough pension to qualify to live in Thailand might need to return to UK for health reasons (cost of treatment in Thailand being very high) he would than have to stay and die in UK alone. -

so if it was a Thai wife, she's not a refugee so would be refused admission. and sent back to Thailand -
That was a fiasco. The tiger Temple had to be shut down but they made sure that the "rescue" was a disaster. Edwin Wiek the conservationist noted at the time that cramped conditions enabled the spread of disease among the big cats. He falso pointed out that the government’s tried to do it on a very limited budget. This prevented officials from treating those affected by "canine distemper" of all things. - A virus easily managed with proper food and supplements, clean water, and space to roam. They just weren't prepared to take in so many tigers at once and the authorities should have asked for outside help, but instead they insisted on doing it all by themselves. It is also thought that inbreeding may have caused those tigers to have weakened immune responses.

It has become less and less valuable n being a British citizen in Thailand since Brexit - there is now virtually no reason for a Thai person to marry a Brit. -

No apparently there are people already living in the UK where the spouses or children may have to be separated. Cleverly brought this law in under the cover of other anti-immigration laws. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/10/james-cleverly-anti-immigration-policy-foreign-wife-tories-stewart-lee
