cumgranosalum Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Here is an interview that Dr Somchai Visasmongkolchai, who I believe is the vet in question, gave to the BBC "fast Track" show - 'I bathed a tiger at a Buddhist sanctuary' http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/fast_track/9748710.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker69 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has Plodsaprop been at the Tigertemple?Is he still part of the government???Were did I say he was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Has Plodsaprop been at the Tigertemple?Is he still part of the government???Were did I say he was? So you don't know then. He was deputy PM under Yingluck, so I would think it very unlikely he'd be visiting the Tiger temple in any capacity, any more that a publicly known pedophile would seen visiting a school.

Yes I know he was, I also know he was sentenced to prison for exporting 100 tigers to China and also that he wanted to start a restaurant in connection to a zoo upcountry with wild animals on the meny.

ChrisY1 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 A commercial venture no less.........how can anyone "lose" 3 <deleted>' tigers?.......... Monks and temples should stick to what they're supposed to be doing.....following Buddha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The defence will probably be that as they can't establish with any certainty the number of tigers there, it is impossible to say that any went missing. This isn't the first time allegations of illegally trading tigers have been made.....the "teflon temple" will no doubt have a response that satisfies the higher echelons of the authorities involved. In the meantime the population of tigers at the temple grows and grows - presumably from a breeding program that appears to beach both local and international conventions. The more tigers at the temple the more difficult it becomes to deal with the problem in an appropriate and humane manner. I can't see how the problem can be solved without the intervention of an international wildlife organisation - and on top of that the cost is going to be astronomical. Presumably the Thai authorities ae aware of this which is why they are dragging their heels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monks and temples should stick to what they're supposed to be doing.....following Buddha! From reading recent news, few of the monks appear to following the teachings of Buddha, so with all their extra time, may as well raise tigers to sell to China. This is what Sriracha Tiger zoo got caught red handed doing, and I would bet my life this tiger " temple" is doing the exact same thing. Would be more stunned if they were not........

cumgranosalum Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 There is still no news of the other endangered species taken in the raid a few weeks back - several birds and a pair of "jackals"???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 ...and the missing Tigers? Whatever happened to them....It appears the Temple is continuing on in its usual way and continuing to charge admission. I wonder if they have "found" any more endangered species?

LarryBird Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 "The temple is consulting with people concerned before deciding whether to file libel charge against Somchai, he said." This place is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
