webfact Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 A hunter who allegedly shot dead a gaur arrested By Thai PBS One of the three hunters wanted by the police for allegedly killing a gaur at Ang Rue Nai wildlife sanctuary in Chanthaburi’s Kaeng Hang Maew district last week has been arrested. The suspect, 24-year old Rungroj Pokham, was presented at a press conference held at Chanthaburi provincial hall by governor Witoorat Srinam. Police also seized from Rungroj’s possession one shotgun and three bags used to contain the gaur meat. Rungroj told the media that he decided to turn himself in to the police because he could no longer stand the pressure exerted by the police. He allegedly admitted that he used his own shotgun to shoot the gaur because he wanted its meat for food.

George Bowman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have visited this national park many times and it holds some natural delights. On one trip my park guide pointed out a mineral lick and said this is where the gaurs often visit and that these locations are where many poachers ambush these great animals.
