Save the animals from cruel slavery at Na Mueng Park in Koh Samui
- by: Szabina Kutasy

Elephants, monkeys, tigers, etc. - some of them are still babies - kept in captivity for the purpose of cruel slavery at Na Mueng National Park and Mini Zoo in Koh Samui. These poor creatures are drugged three times on a daily basis, so tourists can take advantage on them by watching shows, trekking elephants, taking photos by standing next to a restless tiger, etc.
These animals are suffering as drugs effect their mental condition badly, elephants are forced to work long hours for elephant trekking, even within their "rest hours" they have to hold heavy benches on their back while eating their food, monkeys are kept on very short - sometimes 10-20 cm long - leash with a very thight ring around their neck. They are lovely, adorable and certainly not criminals to be treated like this!
These animals are very exhausted, very depressive and also scared to be phisically hurt if they do not obey. Yet, tourists are having fun whilst swinging on an elephant's trunk as the part of a show and so on.
I want these poor creatures to be saved from all this, and tourists should not be able to do anything else with these animals on a safari tour, but feeding them and enjoy observing these gorgeous animals from a distance as they enjoy their lovely freedom, which they truly deserve.
Please help to save these animals as they are literally crying out for your help!
Dear Sir/Madam,
During my recent visit in Tailand - Koh Samui I have had the unfortunate chance to observe elephants, monkeys - some of them are still babies - and other wilde animals being forced to entertain tourist by getting drugs three times a day meanwhile they are continuously overstressed, phisically hurt and abused, kept within unacceptable circumstances, starved and exhausted.
Until tourists are allowed to pay and visit for such attractions, these animal shows will not stop and these creatures are horribly suffering from it. It has broken my heart seeing how unhappy those elephants, monkeys, and others were while doing their daily duty like real prisoners.
Wilde animals belong to the wilde and were born to enjoy their freedom. Human beings should not under any circumstances take advantage on them!
Elephants are trained for different excercises by a use of a bullhook and other sharpe tools to cause pain if it was "necessary". They and other animals within Na Mueng Park and Mini Zoo in Koh Samui are being put in massive stress in many ways, which rapidly destroys their health and life.
I want this to be stopped once and for all and that tourists should not be able to pay and visit such attractions anymore!
There are many smart ways in the world to attract tourists and create profit for residents, there is no need for animal shows whatsoever!
I sincerely hope that you would find some space deep in your heart and help these devastated creatures by stopping these animal shows permanently in not only Koh Samui, but throughout Thailand.
Yours sincerely,
Szabina Kutasy
