Lite Beer Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Baby buffalo rescued from Phuket wellEakkapop Thongtub The buffalo before it was rescued. PHUKET: A two-year-old buffalo was rescued this morning (September 13) after it fell into a disused well behind Wat Baan Don in Thepkrasattri. Kumsue Janpetch, 37, who lives close by, spotted the animal in distress, and called the Kusoldharm Foundation.Ms Kamsue said the well had not been used for a long time and grass had grown up around it and covered it. The young buffalo usually came to eat around the area, and today fell in.She called others living nearby and together they tied a rope around the animal’s horns, and attached the rope to a piece of 2x4 laid across the top of the well, so that the buffalo would not sink below the surface and drown.The Kusoldharm volunteers arrived, used a piece of cloth as a sling under the buffalo’s belly and, after an hour of heaving this way and that, managed to pull the animal out of the well.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/baby-buffalo-rescued-from-phuket-well-41893.php?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter -- Phuket News 2013-09-13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TackyToo Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Is this "news" distributed to keep the population from awareness of all the people who could need a little help from their friends in this country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Is this "news" distributed to keep the population from awareness of all the people who could need a little help from their friends in this country? Most of the population would never read the English language Phuket News so I doubt their awareness is being unduly thwarted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbluck58 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Good job - nice to read - have they now covered the well I wonder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Kusoldharm Foundation, seems to be the real story here. Who are they and how are they funded? I think you will find that the cost of this rescue was met in the form of a BBQ for all the Kusoldharm Foundation workers, courtesy.of the buffalo itself. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
