AYUTTHAYA: -- THE WILDLIFE suppression task force and elephant owners had a brief confrontation yesterday at the famed and privately run royal kraal in Ayutthaya, before the owners agreed to allow the officials to inspect two animals that were confiscated previously by the Phaya Sua task force but reportedly taken away without any notice.

 

Owners at the Ayutthaya Elephant Palace and Royal Kraal set up a temporary checkpoint in front of the kraal yesterday to block officials from entering the site to look for two tuskers reportedly brought here earlier.

 

The domesticated elephants had been confiscated from an animal show venue in Hua Hin by the task force in the middle of the year, but left at the show for further examination.

Obstruction of justice is not a crime here?

 

Time to make it a mandatory 3 months jail offense!

interesting thought, but the Thai system of law and order isn't even a system.  Local governments, facade police, military overthrow guys can and often have been doing whatever they want and there is no appeal process allowed for whatever summary ruling they make.

Latest results have come in, turns out they aren't elephants. All the evidence points to the fact they are elephants but the DNA test has proved they are actually 2 burmese migrants
