Pang La Elephant Nursery Center is located
at Pang Lah Village, Ngao District in
Lampang Province. It used to be a training
center for young elephants; it has since
become a retirement center for 29
elephants under the care of the FIO. These
elephants are all sick, old or crippled,
and cannot walk or cannot work hard. Some
are so dangerous that their owners cannot
keep them, so the elephants are sent here.
Confiscated elephants are still brought
here as well. All these animals are cared
for, by mahouts and veterinarians from the
Institute. The expenses of caring for
these elephants are covered by the
government and by private donations. |
