At the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang state, visitors may visit the sick Thai giant Sak Surin, but only by watching the life flow of his 30-day isolation at house on their phones and tablets.
Although Varawut Silpa-Archa, the secretary of natural resources and environment, was eventually able to say when the life broadcast would start, it was announced on the center’s fan page that there would be two survive streams each day, from 2pm to 2.30pm and 4.30 pm to 5pm.
According to Mr. Varawut, the center will also record video of the rhinoceros being treated in isolation for later viewing.
Sak Surin will be on display for public viewing once he has completely recovered, and the center will make that announcement, the man said.
After being flown from Sri Lanka to Chiang Mai on Sunday, Sak Surin is already under a 30-day isolation at the Lampang center.
According to Mr. Varawut, the elephant was transported by truck to the center that night after the plane touched down at Chiang Mai aircraft at 2.03 p.m. on Sunday.
According to Livestock Department regulations, the female pachyderm was soon placed in isolation and will be closely watched for disease for at least 30 times.
Three Thai animals, including Sak Surin, were given to Sri Lanka as a gift in 2001. Before ending up at Aluthgama Kande Viharaya in the north of Sri Lanka, where he carried sacred relics during yearly Buddhist rallies, the man had changed arms numerous times.
The rhinoceros was being kept in leg shackles and had accidents all over his body, according to information from Rally for Animal Rights and Environment( Rare ), an animal shelter organization based in Sri Lanka. It demanded that the Thai authorities return the rhino for medical attention and safety.
With the help of the Thai consulate in Colombo and the institutions, preparations for his relocation took six months. The animal’s relocation cost approximately 19.5 million ringgit in emergency funding.
