  1. democracy you dont have to have actually killed some one to be called a killer (War on Drugs he was responible for giving the order) and dual PM is NOT democracy
  2. You have to be relistic, to save the elephants in Thailand you will have to have these sanctuary its ALL about money Thais do not care about the elepants, there are a few observation-only sanctuary now in thailand which is a small step in the right direction, Tourist need to be educated in this but do you think the Goverment tourist board will do that NO !! thais lose to much money !!
  3. This guy should be locked up for life He is a convicted felon ,killer and con man
  4. Never answered the questions international culling programs of endangered species. (because there are none) caring for and conserving these elephants in a sustainable manner isn't possible. why is this not possible ?? you need to look up the defintion of culling its is Not hunting Hunting is to sustain you. Culling is to sustain the herd Most hunts are licened huts for single animals NOT multiple therefore NOT culling go back to school!! also in the civilised world Trophy hunting is Banned Try to keep your rambling to a minumin you will have a brain bleed
  5. please tell me 1 international culling programs of endangered species. (because there are none) caring for and conserving these elephants in a sustainable manner isn't possible. why is this not possible or do you think buying submarines are better
  6. This is disgraceful, the goverment welfair system should be taken to task for this, as the school also shame on you thailand this is where the money should go instead for submaries or new plane look after your people !!!!
  7. Lots of bad reporting on this killing some say "male elephant", "female","pierced her with its tusk," "slapped her with its trunk" but it does not matter she died, She should not have been doing this, These are wild animals Elephants are Not domestcated, not Pets, Visiting captive elephant experiences is clearly not an ethical or responsible act. Elephants are highly dangerous and should not be allowed to be near tourists it should be observation only, Elephants won’t naturally move close enough to humans to be touched. If you’re allowed to touch an elephant, it means that the animal has experienced brutal training methods for the amusement of tourists.Currently, one person is killed on average for each male elephant being held in captivity. As well as these direct killings, close contact with captive elephants can pass dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis to tourists and handlers. none of this is published by the tourist boards i wonder why !! as far as who to blame well that is a can of worms !! at a guess it should be the mahout all the way to the goverment, negligience to unsafe practise
  8. According to World Animal Protection 3837 elephants in 357 venues across Asia and found that 63% were living in severely inadequate conditions. When not performing, they were restrained by short chains in noisy, dirty conditions, had poor diets, and received very limited medical care.
  9. They did this last year 12 drones were been deployed on a test mission to spray water and a ‘non-hazardous chemical spray’ 25 metres above a park for periods of 30-40 minutes. According to Preecha Pradapmuk, director of the Defence Technology Institute (DTI), the results show levels of PM2.5 was reduced by 10 microgrammes per cubic metre (µg/m³) on average.
  10. And so he should be !! he was negligent, did not control the animal as was his job, as for the Koh Yao Elephant Care Centre they by allowing unskilled persons to bath a wild elephant they should be charged aswell
  11. How any are allowed to be in existence is mind blowing ... ... corruption rules 😎 do not understand what u are trying to say ???? do you mean elephants
  12. That is zooerasty and against the law
  13. Agree there are no "ethical" elephant sanctuary." but there are observation-only, and i belive the mahout should be held resonible,he was there to ensure the safety of the animal as well as the tourist and yes should shut the whole thing down to a degee elephants are an "endangered species" and require our help to survive and yes lets not talk about the tigers !!
  14. And i think that is the whole point, Change the way the industry is run, more and more elephant sanctuary are changing to observation-only
  15. I belive they are!! many news articles about dogs mauling people and owners being held accoutable or do you not keep up with the news ??
  16. Oh no !! that means the RTP have to work! never happen !
  17. if you think outside of the box. Why do you think they are charging the mahout !!! No, laws are not made to benefit industry alone, but to benefit society as a whole: Protect the environment: Laws and regulations can help prevent businesses from harming the environment by discharging toxic materials or polluting. For example, factories that burn coal are required to install scrubbers to reduce pollution. Protect workers: Laws and regulations can help protect workers from unsafe working conditions, long hours, and other physical or mental harm. Promote economic stability: Laws and regulations can help promote economic stability by providing legal certainty and a framework for responsible behavior. Protect individual rights: Laws and regulations can help protect individual rights. Ensure fairness: Laws and regulations can help ensure fairness in business transactions. Provide legal remedies: Laws and regulations can provide legal remedies for disputes between businesses and their customers or employees. Save lives: Government regulations can save lives. For example, seat belts and air bags have saved many lives.
  18. There is formation of committes for everything but thats it !! nothing happens, no results, no plan, Its like "ground hog day" over and over !!
  19. wow Did you ever go to school ?? to educate you "Laws are made by the people for the people" not for the industry And again to educate safety is everyones responsibility and this is not the first time a mahout has been charged with negligence, safety can be guaranteed if venues are changed to observation-only, the following venues are observation only . ChangChill Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary Burm and Emily's Elephant Sanctuary Following Giants Global Vision International Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary Mahouts Elephant Foundation Somboon Legacy Foundation Thais should be ashamed on how they treat elephants not everything is about money!!
  20. The mahout should be charged !!! the abuse that the mahout hands out to these wild animals is unforgivable and the goverment, for not protecting the elephants from this industries. Training elephants to perform tricks and activities for tourists is both unnatural and harmful. ‘Trainers’ use cruel, punishment-based training, including hitting them with sticks or sharp metal objects. Elephants are often kept in isolation. Elephants are very social, so separating young elephants from their mothers causes severe trauma, especially when they are then restrained with chains to exhaust them while they become used to being isolated.
  21. And that is one of the problems with this country "self" "self" self "" this non elected goverment does not help Thais in real need
  22. From: World Animal Protection https://www.worldanimalprotection.org/latest/blogs/thailand-elephants/ What is the most humane elephant sanctuary in Thailand?

  23. The Thai people should be ashamed how they treat Elephants World Animal Protection Assessed 3837 elephants in 357 venues across Asia and found that 63% were living in severely inadequate conditions. When not performing, they were restrained by short chains in noisy, dirty conditions, had poor diets, and received very limited medical care. Training elephants to perform tricks and activities for tourists is both unnatural and harmful. ‘Trainers’ use cruel, punishment-based training, including hitting them with sticks or sharp metal objects. Elephants are often kept in isolation. Elephants are very social, so separating young elephants from their mothers causes severe trauma, especially when they are then restrained with chains to exhaust them while they become used to being isolated. This can lead to symptoms of PTSD. Elephants used for tourism in Thailand fuels the cruelty we’ve just mentioned. Companies train elephants to fulfil the demand for elephant experiences and close encounters with these wild animals. Elephant tourism also makes elephants a valuable commodity. Elephant breeders can charge large sums for each calf. This is a form of wildlife farming, where these wild animals are seen solely in terms of profit with no thought for their wellbeing. Although the welfare of these elephants is our primary concern, captive elephant experiences also pose a significant danger to humans. More people are killed or severely injured by captive elephants than any other captive wild animal. Currently, one person is killed on average for each male elephant being held in captivity. As well as these direct killings, close contact with captive elephants can pass dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis to tourists and handlers.
