PHUKET: A slow loris found climbing along high-voltage power cables in Phuket Town last night (Sept 1) has been safely captured and handed over to wildlife officials for care and protection.

 

Local residents called Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers to report that a slow loris was climbing on overhead electrical wires on Anuphas Phuket Karn Rd at 11pm.

 

The rescue workers arrived but called in the Phuket Provincial Electric Authority (PEA) to help recover the protected mammal with cherry picker.

Poor thing has probably had its teeth pulled out so it can be used as a Toy for tourists to take their picture with it, Not many people know it has a poisonous bite,

Land of hypocrites. I hope it can recover from its escape. 

From the article, "the slow loris was too quick for the PEA workers".

 

Yup.  Just like Yingluck and "Boss" were too quick for the Thai police.
