Sick animals transferred

NAN: Officials yesterday transferred sick wild animals from a government-run zoo within the Chae Haeng Arboretum to Mae Hong Son, to save them from poor treatment due to a lack of funds.

The animals, including a Malaysian Sun Bear, three Malayan porcupines and four exotic birds, would be sent to Pang Tong Wildlife Breeding Research Station in Mae Hong Son, said station head Amnuay Puangkam.
