Baby elephant not abused, young mahouts say

Maybe we need to look at that video again. What appears to be cruel and abusive treatment of a baby elephant may just be a case of young mahouts trying to deal with an animal that was acting, well, like a baby.

That's what the two teenage mahouts involved in the incident claimed yesterday.

Local authorities and wildlife officials yesterday visited the home of Sarayuth Khamkonyai, 50, the owner of the four-year-old elephant shown in the video clip which was circulated online last week.

The clip shows two young mahouts using hooks to attack the young elephant after it collapsed from what appeared to be exhaustion. They also pulled the elephant's tail and kicked it several times.

Mr Sarayuth yesterday admitted that he was the owner of the elephant, named Rung-arun, and that the two teens work for him.

He denied his mahouts attacked the elephant, saying that Rung-arun was "playing" when it lay on the ground.

The elephant stopped in front of a house where the female owner always fed the animal, but she was not there on that day and the animal refused to move, Mr Sarayuth said.
