Thank you

Hello!!

I am in Kanchanaburi and am looking for a center that helps Elephants or any other kind of animals. NO ELEPHANT TOUR PLACES

I do not have money to give, but can donate my time. I found a place called Elephants and Friends www.elephants-friends.com, however I am not sure if they are still open.

If anyone knows a place where my bf and I can do this please let me know. Preferably in the Kanchanaburi Province

--NO TIGER TEMPLE--

Thank you!!!!

Yes Wildlife Friends of Thailand have elephants. www.wfft.org. There is also a Thai lady north of Chaing Mai, she has only elephants, an amazing project but i dont have detail here right now.WFFT might know how to contact her.She has about 50 elephants i think.

enjoy

Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand. http://www.wfft.org/ is who you are looking for, Petchaburi Province.

They will be sure to help you rescue the poor snake who is a threatened species no doubt and will probably die in captivity if the current fools dont know anything about how to keep it.

Goodluck with your rescue!

Nongkhai/Bangkok, Thailand —The Thai Navy has seized two Tiger carcasses and 45 pangolins, and arrested eight traffickers who had planned to smuggle the animals across the Mekong River into Lao PDF.

Navy officers followed two cars carrying the traffickers in Ponpang village in the Rattana Wapi district of Nongkai Province on April 26, and made the arrests as they were attempting to transfer the slaughtered Tigers and live pangolins to a boat.

Eight people were arrested including a Vietnamese woman and her Thai husband. Several others in the boat fled upon sighting the navy officers.

The two Tiger carcasses, chopped in half, and the 45 pangolins, two of which were dead, were found inside the two cars.

The navy and Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division have sent the tiger carcasses to the Department of National Parks for DNA testing.

"TRAFFIC lauds the Thai authorities for carrying out these DNA tests. Determining the origin of these Tigers is crucial if authorities hope to end this tragic trade," said TRAFFIC Southeast Asia's Acting Director Chris R. Shepherd.

This seizure is not the first case involving Tigers being smuggled across this border.

In January 2008, the Thai Navy thwarted an attempt to smuggle six slaughtered Tigers, five Leopards and 275 live pangolins across the Thai-Laos border.

In that incident, the Tigers had also been found sliced in half, while the Leopards had had their organs removed.

News reports quoted authorities saying that at least six people escaped into the forest while others on a waiting boat fled into Lao carrying four sacks believed to contain more animal remains.

This January, Thai police seized four Tiger carcasses in the resort town of Hua Hin.

The dead Tigers, weighing about 250 kg had been decapitated and were found in a truck passing through Hua Hin in the Prachuap Kiri Khan province.

Police said the dead Tigers were believed to have come from Malaysia and were being transported to China.

A Thai daily, Bangkok Post, also reported that genetic testing would be conducted on the Tiger carcasses at Kasetsart University to see if they were domesticated or wild animals.

The following month, Thai authorities discovered the butchered carcasses of two Tigers and a panther when they stopped a truck in the southern province of Pattani.

The driver of the vehicle was arrested and charged with illegal possession of the carcasses of endangered wildlife.

He told authorities he was hired to drive from Sungai Golok, a town on the Malaysian border to Hat Yai in Thailand. Reports said the carcasses were also sent for DNA testing to determine the subspecies and hence the origin of the animals.

TRAFFIC also encouraged governments throughout Southeast Asia to work together to tackle the problem.

"The trail of butchered Tigers winds through many countries in Southeast Asia.

"Tracking down those who illegally kill and trade these Tigers and putting them behind bars is a task countries cannot accomplish their own," said Shepherd.

Hi there,

As i hate to see ANY animal but also all these squirrels stuck in confinement prisons, ie. cages all over the country , and on every market,i was wondering where i can find a little more information on them, like what do they eat? and mainly ,when they are old enough could they live out in the jungle alone? what threatens them and what would they eat to survive?

I saw one lonely one the other day miles up in the jungle, at a small wooden cabin,stuck in a cage, no food, no water..no one seemed to be about at the time but obviously someone owns him and feeds him...on the odd occasion. The temptation to set him free was overwelming but as it is not mine to doso...and it might not survive? ..nonetheless i behaved myself,incase of a farmer chaseing me with a gun : )

If anyone has any knowledge on these noble little creatures i would be grateful as I would really like to be able to buy and release some if it would be the right thing to do.

many thanks

Would you like a temporary home for them?

I have a large garden, i would gladly take them until you return.

I am english and live in koh Samui , i have kept horses,rabbits dogs and cats , also here in Thailand. My husband is german from Bavaria..farm country and would like to have them around too.As long as they dont smell too much?
