Karlo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It was good of the police to broadcast what day and time they would be visiting the zoo, but it seems like the Orangutan had already made plans. It would be good if the authorities would also give expats notice of when they would be visiting you at home to see if you comply with immigration. I am normally out most of the time so they would have little chance of finding me at home.... I am fortunate that I do t need to work and spend my time traveling or doing sports.

worgeordie Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 You would think the police would know when someone is lying to them, especially when its such a mountain of B/S. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 If, as stated, they dumped this animal in small area of forest, it will be in danger of starving. It must be found quickly and sent to a rescue centre. The abusers need to be prosecuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you read things differently than I. When there is news story about a probe the day before a visit by investigators was made, as seems to be the case a lot of times in the news around Phuket, I think they knew about the investigation and got rid of the orangutang before the "probe" began... After 11 years in Phuket, I've seen it happen too many times. But you can interpret the local news however you like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertthebruce Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hope the poor Animal is safe and sound.....

HerbalEd Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Very very stupid zoo keeper. Also, it looks like he deliberately and knowingly broke the law and yet he will most likely never be changed with anything ... just like last time this happened in Phuket.

I agree with you, all we ever hear is the huff and puff of people in uniforms adorned with bars and medals threatening to uphold the law but it rarely ever comes to fruition especially in Phuket.

hansnl Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) I guess the orangutang's orangorang friend at the police gave him a call? And he then said "saja tutup". And was gone,..... Edited February 20, 2016 by hansnl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
