A Letter from IPPL’s Chairwoman Dear IPPL Member, We at Headquarters are all devastated by the loss in October of our “special needs” gibbon, Beanie. You’ll find the story of his life in the centerfold of this issue. In 1990 Beanie had developed encephalitis when living at a primate facility in Florida. This terrible disease left him blind and suffering from epilepsy, so he was sent to IPPL for special care. Beanie didn’t let his handicaps defeat him. He was a spunky, personable gibbon, adored by our staff members. Beanie could sing gibbon songs. The only problem was that sometimes he would start singing at 3 a.m. because, being blind, he didn’t know the difference between night and day! He could perform spectacular gibbon acrobatics at whirlwind speed, sometimes spinning round a stationary bar fifteen times. Beanie loved food and had strong preferences. He loved sweet potatoes, but only if they were baked and had a sprinkling of sugar! Another favorite was raisin bread. But not just any raisin bread. He preferred Arnold’s raisin bread, which is loaded with raisins. If you offered him a substitute he would throw it away. We are all going to miss Beanie greatly, but the 31 resident gibbons keep us busy. Courtney is now two and a half years old and still very much an infant.

  • SOAN 21.3 F5 266-283-Cohen.Indd
    Society & Animals 21 (2013) 266-283 brill.com/soan “Buddhist Compassion” and “Animal Abuse” in Thailand’s Tiger Temple Erik Cohen The Hebrew University of Jerusalem [email protected] Abstract The Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi province, western Thailand, is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a unique opportunity to interact closely with tigers. It presents itself as a “tiger sanctuary,” whose tigers have been tamed by nonviolent Buddhist methods. This claim has been disputed by visitors and animal welfare activists. This article confronts the Temple’s master nar- rative of “Buddhist compassion” with a counternarrative of “animal abuse” according to which, rather than being a “sanctuary” for tigers, the Temple in fact mistreats the animals and exploits them commercially. However, even as an animal welfare organization’s report confirmed the abuse of the tigers and called for their confiscation and for the suspension of their display to visitors, the Thai authorities granted the Temple permission to operate as a zoo. This decision highlights the profound contrast between Thai and Western-inspired international norms for the treatment of captive (wild) animals. The article examines the cultural roots of this contrast and argues that in their narrow focus on the Tiger Temple the critics have unwittingly missed the opportunity to use the Temple’s animal abuse as an instance of a wider problem in the per- ception and treatment of (wild) animals in Thailand. Keywords animal abuse, animal shows, ethical treatment of animals, human-animal engagement, tigers, Tiger Temple Introduction Shows displaying captive wild animals in “contrived settings” (Cohen, 2009, pp.

    SC61 Doc. 41 Annex 3 (English only / únicamente en inglés / seulement en anglais) Annex 3 Conservation of and trade in tigers and other Appendix-1 Asian big cat species Report submitted by CITES Management Authority of Thailand for the 61st meeting of the Standing Committee To comply with Resolution Conf. 12.5, Thailand has taken various steps on implementing conservation of and trade in tigers and other Appendix-1 Asian big cat including research, population sustainable conservation and management, public awareness, and related law enforcement. 1. The status of Tigers in Thailand In Thailand, tigers occur in 25 of 188 terrestrial protected areas from the southern border with Malaysia to the far north near the borders with Laos and Myanmar. Nine of twenty five protected areas have moderate to high tiger density, and only two of these nine protected areas have a high density of tigers. Currently tigers occur in 10 of 17 recognized terrestrial forest complexes. Six of ten forest complexes support low density of tigers, and one (Western Forest Complex) has a core area with a high tiger density (Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary) while the other three forest complexes (Khaeng Krachan Forest Complex, Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex (DP-KY), and Hala-Bala Forest Complex) support moderate tiger density. During the year 2008 and 2009, Thailand’s tiger biologists from Khao Nang Rum Wildlife Research Station conducted camera trap surveys in Huai Kha Khaeng and Thung Yai Wildlife Sanctuary documenting photo- captures of 39 and 14 individual tigers, respectively. Based on the results and the sign surveys summarized above, biologists have reached a consensus conclusion that there are likely 190-250 tigers remaining in Thailand.
