Interest and outrage in the case of Italian-Thai Development Company Director Premchai Karnasuta’s alleged illegal killing of a protected black panther in a Kanchanaburi wildlife sanctuary has far from abated.

 

Over the weekend, a viral photo of a massive black panther crying while perched atop Italthai Tower, the unmistakable Petchburi Road round building that houses Premchai’s massive construction company offices, circulated online. Weirdly, the original post was reported to have disappeared soon after it was published but it is unknown why, or who, removed it.

 

It is also unknown who created the original photo but it was shared by well-loved indie film director and artist Surussavadi Chuarchart, who republished the photo on Thursday, but reported that her post was removed an hour later.

sometimes, sadly valuable that we continue to gain knowledge of the place in which we live; remember, this case is not like the rolex general , where the govt clandestinely protects their own, rather, this case is of a private individual, and if the govt protects him , then it is alarming

"The original picture was removed [from Facebook.]"

 

Glad I never signed up for spineless face book.   Suppose the building facade is trade marked and therefor protected like that panther should have been. 

Easy one.

Everybody just copy and paste on their Facebook page!

Indeed - who else has the resources to dispatch people to paint over panther graffiti as it randomly appears across the city?
