rasmus5150 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am also interested to hear what happened to the temple, and the people who mistreated the bears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilSA1 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Finally, a good story today. Well done. Nice to read and good fortune to those 4 'lucky' animals. Edited March 31, 2015 by NeilSA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avander Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am also interested to hear what happened to the temple, and the people who mistreated the bears. Likewise from me. Where does it go from here. Do those responsible get any reprimands at all for their horrendous treatment of these bears and can they do it again? I keep seeing in my mind the original photo of that bear; disgusting and shameful treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Grumpy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Thai monks in a Thai temple. After 10 yrs here, if my level of respect for them could get any lower, it just would have done. Edited April 1, 2015 by Happy Grumpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Ingalls Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Now go after the Monks who were responsible for their upkeep, and feedings. This is inexcusable for their actions doing nothing, not even calling the proper authorities to remove them from their temple. I've lost all respect for these so called Holy men!
