PHUKET: Rescue workers from Kamala Tambon Administrative Organisation (OrBorTor) were called to the Water Production Plant in Kamala today (Nov 16) after local residents spotted a pangolin emerge from the jungle.

 

After being notified of the odd find, Kriengsak Boonlang led his rescue team to the Khlong Nam area, where they found the female pangolin, weighing about four kilogrammes, curled up asleep under trees beside the canal.

 

The rescue team soon easily - and safely - had the pangolin in hand, and took the scaly mammal to Kamala Police Station to record its discovery.

Escaped a wildlife trafficker, only to be caught again?

Hope she manages to escape once more back into the jungle and stay hidden.

I really hope so too 

Several trolling posts have been removed.

 

Why take it to the police station....just causing it more stress?

 

Was it in danger where it was to need rescuing?  

 

If so I would be better to Simply take it into the jungle and release it!

Possibly, reference Google:-

 

The animals are trafficked mainly for their scales, which are believed to treat a variety of health conditions in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and as a luxury food in Vietnam and China.
