The mahouts at an elephant sanctuary in western Thailand have resorted to swimming in a nearby lake to gather weeds for fodder, as a nationwide lockdown has left them without tourist dollars needed to pay for the fruit their animals like. This sanctuary is struggling to feed its elephants. Taweechai camp is home to 25 elephants and 75 staff members. It usually welcomes 100 tourists a day but is now one of many animal sanctuaries struggling to cope in Thailand. Copyright: (c) 2020 Thomson Reuters, unless otherwise identified.
