PHUKET: The Phuket office of the Department of Livestock Development (DLD) has issued a formal warning to an elephant camp in Rawai following photo evidence surfacing over the elephant being overly restrained by chains while in its infancy.

 

Phuket DLD Chief Manas Thepparuk told The Phuket News that his officers returned to inspect the Phuchada Safari camp, located in Rawai’s Saiyaun area, last week.

 

The camp owner last month was given 15 days to clean the area where a 2-year-old baby elephant is kept after an inspection prompted by allegations that the baby elephant had suffered maltreatment at the camp.

I would chain the one who chained any elephants

Elephants belong to the forest and shall roam free over there !

What forests would those be? The plains of Isaan perhaps. Given half a chance Thai entrepreneurs would cut down every last tree in the country.
