Popular Post simon43 Posted July 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2022 Yes, a very good rescue effort. But I have to ask why there is an open utility hole in a national park which is teeming with elephants, some with babies. It's an accident waiting to happen. Common sense would suggest that this hole should either be covered with a heavy steel lid (able to withstand the weight of an elephant), or a strong steel fence around it. Common sense? Oh wait a minute! This is Thailand...... 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Absolutely amazing. Just when you thought humanity was doomed they CPR an elephant and reunite with baby. Now can they do something about european warmongers. One of those darts would be a start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I The drain was on a golf course - next to the park. That can be clearly seen in photographs in The Times. The mother and calf had crossed a road to get to the golf course.

It's an accident waiting to happen. That is simply the way things are here, it is not a problem or concern until it is one. Safety and proactive action on it are rare.
