Kenya has relocated 50 elephants from Imenti Forest to Tsavo East National Park, a larger reserve, to address human-wildlife conflicts and promote conservation.

The elephants were moved using trucks and a crane to ensure their safety during transportation. This relocation is part of Kenya's broader conservation strategy and is seen as a positive indication that poaching is being kept under control, allowing the population to grow. The translocation also helps protect agricultural communities from crop damage caused by elephants while expanding the animals' habitat in Tsavo, which is better equipped to support larger numbers.

Elephants during flooding in Chiang Mai province, Thailand, 4 October 2024

Elephants guide the way for their youngest 

This all started a few days ago with people calling out the Thailand open zoo and their management with the baby Pygmy hippo, Moo Deng. It quickly turned into a debate about the zoo itself. Now, this has turned into a criticism on western perspectives where they are claiming that Westerners are being racist with their criticisms of the zoo’s conditions and how the animals are managed.

There’s this one Twitter user who’s gone viral a few times condemning the “Western” view on how elephants are handled in Thailand. Since the floods, they’ve taken this chance to double down and start advocating for the bullhook and chains, pushing it as the right way to handle elephants. They keep defending the mahouts (the elephant trainers), but the way they’re spreading this info feels really off. Something about it seems manipulative, and it’s like they’re pushing an agenda that’s more harmful than helpful, all while framing any critique as racist. I don’t like the vibe at all. 

They have been sharing criticism from other elephant handlers in Thailand who were able to rescue their elephants during the floods. Showing criticisms about how the owner and the elephant nature park does not use any form of “training” tools such as the bullhook and chains, which is why some of the elephants tragically passed away. What are everyone’s thoughts on this?

Elephants previously moved to higher ground must move again  as waters continue to create life threatening mudslides. One Elephant known to have been swept away by flooding is still missing and the 13 remaining trapped in lowland area are panicking.

Severe flooding in Thailand forces evacuation of elephant sanctuary

Baby elephants typically don't learn to control their trunks until they're about a year old, which may result in behavior like this.
