Jan was imported into Thailand when she was just a cub, and sold into the pet trade. She lived in a concrete cell for many years.
To the rescue of camels and giraffes…
Camels and Giraffes!
Wow! Our WFFT mobile clinic had to treat some new species (for us new at least) in this week. A tourist theme park nearby has recently opened and they have received several camels and giraffes. Although the facilities at this park are pretty good compared to other zoos and parks in Thailand the animals were showing several signs of illness and wounds. The WFFT veterinary team was asked to help out and provide treatment for these animals.
Some of the animals will need longer treatment and follow-up which we will provide.
*WFFT does in general not support the keeping of wildlife as pets or in zoos, but when animals are in need we never refuse to help out.
