Elderly woman's buffalo herd goes missing in Buriram

[webfact]

 

An elderly woman from Buriram province is in distress after her entire herd of 10 buffaloes has mysteriously disappeared.

 

The woman, aged 72, had planned to sell the buffaloes to pay off a debt to the Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives.

 

Local highway police received a report from the woman about the missing buffaloes and launched a search operation, but unfortunately, the buffaloes could not be found.

 

The woman, relying on local beliefs, lit incense sticks in hopes of divine assistance in locating her missing animals.

 

The woman explained that her buffaloes, which she usually allowed to roam freely in the rice fields, vanished on May 9 without a trace.

 

With her intended source of income now gone, she faces financial uncertainty and is appealing to the public for help in recovering her herd.

 

If anyone has information about the whereabouts of the missing buffaloes or has seen them, the woman urges them to come forward.

 

She has offered forgiveness to anyone who might have taken the buffaloes if they are returned safely.

It was a joke.

Loosen up, you seem to only post antagonizing comments.

"lit incense sticks in hopes of divine assistance in locating her missing animals"

Always the same problem. Finding the right God to pray to....

Not the right ones obviously.

To steel 10 buffaloes is not so easy. Probably at night with a big truck or several pickups. I suppose it's a gangland thing.

Did you read the article? 

 

 

The woman, is relying on local beliefs.

She lit incense sticks in hopes of divine assistance in locating her missing animals.

 

Do tell, I bet you believe in superstitions and 

- fairy God mother 

- Santa Claus 

- Hocus pocus 

etc. 

 

The article is laughable. 

 

She's probably hocked the buffalo, now looking for sympathy because she is in debt to the bank.

So, right! You are just digging a deeper hole for yourself, aren´t you?

If the woman, as many other Thais, have a strong belief in something that you, and some other people, think belongs to hocus pocus and superstitions. So, does that mean the woman is dishonest and actually know who took the buffalo´s? Does it make the woman´s problem smaller and less important or less difficult for her? The only thing that is laughable here, is a person that think another persons problem is laughable.

Also, I am not a believer, but who can say that spirits does not exist? How do you know, they can not intervene in some kind of way?

Do you believe this article, seems to me that we have a few members here that are convinced the buffalo have mysteriously disappeared. 

 

Initially I felt sorry for the old lady but once I read the incense, hocus pocus crap I had to laugh. 

 

Grow up people, it's a phoney.

The only one that´s lost it, is you. Unfortunately, that is not the most sad thing. The saddest thing, is that you don´t understand it.

[fondue zoo]

anyway, no matter how you look at it, moving ten buffalo is going to get noticed by somebody surely.

[transam]

Where I live, owners of cow's and buffalo let them roam the streets unattended looking for grass........🤗

Nasty! Both derogatory to the Thai girl and to the poster who most likely posted a tongue in cheek comment. I take great offence at your comment as I'm married to a Thai woman (20 years) of exceptional moral character and well educated and never seen inside a bar. We have two children. So stop being nasty. Phew!!!

Some enterprising young lad swooped them up. The #1 comment I make to passenger seat attendees on trips to isaan is “why don’t people steal the cows, they just leave them out in the open any old person can swoop them off”.

 

well someone finally listened
