Popular Post webfact Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 MAHA SARAKHAM, Dec 17 (TNA) – The Chang Thongkhum elephant conservation center will put a pair of elephant tusks up for online auction with the starting price of 25 million baht. Thanabadee Promsook, chairman of Chang Thongkhum (Thailand) Co, said the pair of tusks belonged to a male elephant, Phlai Boonchai, which died at the age of 51 last month. The tusks are 37 centimeters in circumference and 189cm long. According to him, proceeds will fund the construction of an elephant hospital, the expansion of elephants’ stables and grass cultivation and the purchase of elephants from the owners who do not want to keep them. Proceeds will also be spent on elephant care which costs more than 50,000 baht a month as well as the treatment of ill and old elephants.

Popular Post PJPom Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 Very good, I always despair when I see the Ivory recovered from Poachers being burnt in a big publicity event. To me the controlled release of tusks with the funds going to preservation of Elephants is much more logical and might even deter buyers of illicit ivory, and cut down the poaching. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 34 minutes ago, Paul Henry said: I thought it was illegal to trade in Ivory.? Apparently not:- On 16 November 2017, it was announced that US President Donald Trump had lifted a ban on ivory imports from Zimbabwe implemented by Barack Obama (wikipedia) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
