Poor thing 😥

KOTA KINABALU, June 21 — A female elephant calf here limped for days on an almost-severed foot before a team from the Wildlife Rescue Unit tracked it down for much-needed medical attention.

The wildlife rangers had been trying to track the elephant since they received a report on Saturday of an injured animal sighting in the Tungku area of Lahad Datu. They found it in Felda Sahabat 5 yesterday. “I would like to remind all parties not to put up any kind of trap or snare for any reason, not least because it is against the law. I am also asking all plantation managements to ensure their workers do not set up snares in the forest because this cruel act could lead back to them,” he said.

“Anyone with information can call 016-8109901, and we promise to keep the informant’s identity a secret,” he said.
