Report on Animal Situation
in Phuket

 

Jan 1, 2004

Excerpted from a letter from

Edwin Wiek

Director - Wildlife Friends of Thailand

 

Television reported many pet and livestock animals left behind in Phuket and other remote islands without food.  Animal owners either have to desert their pet or are now unemployed, and people who used to feed the strayed are no longer able to do so.  Food supply and donation available are, unfortunately, only for human.  Pets and strays are in more serious situation than livestock, because the effected sites are not agricultural areas.
