Lite Beer Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Two suspects in elephant death arrested Region One provincial police have arrested two men they suspected of poisoning a male elephant and stole its tusks in Ayutthaya province last Friday. The two were arrested in Suphanburi province with the stolen tusks in possession Wednesday night.The police said the duo are members of a wildlife trafficking gang which is professional in the illicit trade.The police also said they are looking for another member of the gang who is a former teacher.The gang was in the past responsible for poisoning tigers at Bung Chawak zoo in Suphanburi and had been arrested and sentenced. Now some members of the gang have already finished the prison terms and have been freed. They returned to the illicit trade again, they said.The two suspects poisoned the 50-year-old male elephant and sawn off its tusks sawn off while the jumbo was chained to a tree by its mahout near Lopburi river in Ayutthaya on July 11.The police at first said the brutal theft was carried by more than three persons while the owner of the Royal Elephant Kraal said the thieves were not professional judging from the tusks they cut.The mahout said he had chained the elephant there as it had been in rut in the past week.Earlier owner of the Elephant Kraal, Laithongrian Meephan, said the killers might be teenagers or drug addicts nearby the place judging from the tusks they cut off not right at their base.They did not appear to know that beautiful tusks must include the base to be truly valued. A pair of the tusks valued 4-5 million baht, he said.

ezzra Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Burn them with the tusks, preferably inserted into them via an 'uncomfortable' orifice.

Maroon Watcher Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Training and Education in Thailand needs to grow up... (As in the rest of the World) Greed and Evil is easy. Protecting Life and Building a Future for ALL people, and ALL Nature -is the most difficult, and yet the simplest to enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post espinoza Posted July 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why do Thailand want to have elephants without their natural freedom ? That is the question here. Thailand as a country accept slavery in many stages. This is one of the stages. Nowadays Thailand gets a little pepper because of human slavery, but this will sure be the next issue on that agenda. Thailand is a rotten country regarding rights of life in any level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life for these ar***les!! Would make sense to park the elephants as close as possible to something loud or otherwise stress creating. Quiet place...shoot the mahout.
