PHUKET:-- The Phuket Livestock Development Office has cleared an elephant camp in Rawai of allegations of animal abuse, but has given the camp owner 15 days to clean the area where a 2-year-old baby elephant is kept.

 

The news follows a disturbing report by a regular visitor to Phuket, documenting how the baby elephant has been mistreated and used as a tourist attraction.

The investigators did not look at the video on Youtube. As we all know, money rules in Thailand.

Can you just substitute the word elephant to falang?

So that passed inspection... beggars belief in Thai animal husbandry!

Poor animals. I yell out to the tourists to stop and leave when see them in these horrible perverse places. Went past the Rawai camp last week and the elephants tied down bored and looking very sad. I wouldn't go ride one of them even if you offered me a lot of money.

So you want the elephants on Phuket euthanised?

No, that didn't pass inspection because it wasn't the case as alleged when it was inspected!

What? This animal had to go through all the 'horrors' of being photographed, that's all.
