Thai Authorities Seize Smuggled Orangutans
Picture courtesy of Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation of Thailand, alongside the Royal Thai Police's Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division, has successfully intercepted an illegal wildlife trade operation, seizing two orangutans. The captured primates hold an estimated value exceeding 250,000 baht. On 15th May 2025, Director-General Attapol Charoenchansa received information from Mr Naruephon Thipmonta, head of the Forest Protection and Fire Control Office, about the successful takedown of a protected wildlife smuggling ring involving orangutans. The operation, initiated on 12th May 2025, saw collaboration between police and an anonymous informant, who uncovered a network engaged in the illicit trade of protected animals. Arrangements were made to purchase an orangutan for 255,000 baht, with a scheduled exchange at a petrol station in Lat Phrao, Bangkok.

A 47-year-old man was taken into custody, with two orangutans and two plastic containers used for transport confiscated. Authorities determined the actions violated the 2019 Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act, specifically possessing controlled wildlife without a permit, punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine up to 100,000 baht. The suspect was transferred to investigators for legal processing. The seized orangutans, along with the equipment, have been entrusted to the wildlife health management unit for proper care. The police and conservation officials are pursuing further investigation to identify additional members of the illegal trade network. This operation aligns with the policies of Minister Varawut Silpa-archa, advocating stringent measures against illegal wildlife trading and poaching, extending from online markets to cross-border smuggling activities. Orangutans, an endangered species listed under the CITES convention, are threatened by illegal trade, posing significant risks to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. The public is urged to report wildlife crimes via the 24-hour park protection hotline, 1362. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation 2025-05-16 -

MAGA demands arrest after Cryptic Post by James Comey Sparks Federal Scrutiny
Cryptic Post by James Comey Sparks MAGA Outrage and Federal Scrutiny Former FBI Director James Comey is under intense scrutiny after a controversial Instagram post ignited accusations from Donald Trump’s allies that he was subtly calling for the assassination of the former president. The uproar began Thursday afternoon when Comey shared an image of seashells arranged to read “86 47.” To many Trump supporters, that number combination carries a chilling implication: a coded call to kill the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump. Donald Trump Jr. also weighed in, posting: “Just James Comey causally [sic] calling for my dad to be murdered. This is who the Dem-Media worships. Demented!” Kash Patel, a Trump ally and the newly appointed FBI chief, confirmed that authorities were taking the matter seriously. “We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed at President Trump. We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.” Comey issued a statement Thursday night claiming the post was a misunderstanding. “I posted a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.” Despite Comey’s explanation, the backlash continued to grow. Conservative commentator Meghan McCain wrote: “Don’t know how this can be interpreted as any other way but a threat against President Trump. James Comey should at the very least get a visit from the Secret Service. Also is everyone mentally ill?” The controversy comes at a time of heightened security around Trump, who recently survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed his ear. Authorities also uncovered and disrupted a separate Iranian-backed plot against him earlier this year. Comey, who served as FBI Director from 2013 until his dismissal by Trump in 2017, has had a turbulent history with the former president. After being fired, he famously authorized the leak of memos documenting private meetings with Trump, contributing to the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russian election interference. In an email to FBI staff following his termination, Comey had written, “I have long believed that a president can fire an FBI director for any reason, or for no reason at all. I'm not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won't either. It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply.” As investigations proceed, the incident has further inflamed already deep political divisions, with Trump loyalists demanding accountability and Comey insisting the furor is based on a misinterpretation of an innocent image.
