Popular Post Whale Posted April 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2015 Its nice to see them (Pattaya Police) uphold a law (esp a wildlife law) - for once. Now if they could just move a few meters north and start to sort out the shame that is beach road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojourner007 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Her again. Exactly. Just a few weeks ago she was arrested for the same thing. I guess it's just a small fine to pay and off she goes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Still haven't nailed the Thai male she worked with, if that same one that was at Central. I turned them into freeland Foundation about a year ago... how about some serious jail time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddinChonburi Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So they do not impound the animal so really she pays the tea money and on her way. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonwolf Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sad this. Feel sorry for the animal. Hope it is being looked after. On a similar note. My Thai gf had a pet monkey, which we got from a market. She work as reception at a small hotel and he kept her company when she was on nights. She I know looked after him well and he was great fun. Trained him well even to use a potty. My point is that when we went for walks around hua him with him so many people came up to ask if can hold him and have a photo. Gf never liked this and did not allow it when I was with her. But no wonder why this happens as the ones who want to have the photo are as much to blame as the one who does the offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLSEEINGEYE Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 How many times have they arrested her already? Is there a 3 strike rule here (joke)? Or just a regular donater to the tea money slush fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like what else goes on there, then don't go there. Simples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb17 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The last time I went to the tiger zoo in SriRacha there was an Orang sitting there - and you paid money for a picture. It was totally depressing, many loved it - especially the Chinese . The tiger zoo is appalling - it's all to do with education. Probably by the end of this century, many species will have become extinct. With a bit of luck that might include Homo sapiens sapiens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilSA1 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I just Googled this, very interesting - The slow loris is one of the only poisonous mammals in the world. Its subtle nature makes it popular in the illegal pet trade, but unknowing humans should stay clear of its toxin, which is released from the sides of its elbows. When threatened, the loris takes the toxin into its mouth and mixes it with saliva. The animal will also lick its hair to deter predators from attack. The toxin can cause death by anaphylactic shock.Read more: http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/photos/15-cute-animals-that-could-kill-you/slow-loris#ixzz3WhG2GoRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they inject the poor thing with a sedative, so it will not show its true temperiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are wrong. Go take a look at one. Sedatives are not so much used (they are "slow" after all) as ya-ba to keep them active.
