April 27, 2007: Elephant hospital in Thailand
The Russian images site ochevidec.net has turned up another set of lovely shots from an elephant hospital. With no information except for "elephant hospital in Thailand". It looks like this set was taken with an artistic eye, rather than to document the place, but nevertheless they are quite interesting. the whole gallery |

Things must be moving forward for the economy in Thailand. If you think about the crazy resources that went into Barbaro, folks have to be pretty productive to sustain what could be considered nonsense, but produces unoticed benefits for veterinary science. Is Thailand producing excess wealth or is this a barebones operation to put the animals back to work?

Elephants are revered in Thailand, so it makes sense they would have a special hospital for them.
Is that leg amputated? Difficult to see. I thought the first picture showed a trunk cast, but now I'm not so sure.

I think that's the trunk... it's the left front leg in the bandages.
Another landmine victim?

5 cents to 3 cents is a hefty drop, but better for the elephants when US money comes in.
