The water is rising. The situation is grave. Countless numbers of animals are in danger of drowning, starving or being eaten by crocodiles which escaped from certain tourist entertainment venues. Save Elephant Foundation (SEF) has teams of volunteers on the ground (in the water might be more accurate) around Bangkok. They are working to rescue as many animals as possible. Now is the time to ask what can I do to help. It's not the time for bickering, selfish motives, jealousy or any other selfish childish behavior. For the past couple of days SEF has tried to borrow and/or rent boats to help save animals. Today they were able to purchase three plastic boats!
More news will follow. In the meantime please see the attached video and perhaps one or two related videos.

I'm dry in Chiang Mai trying to help let the world know what is going on. I'm grateful to be dry and safe and yet I must tell you I'm feeling a bit guilty for not being in the throws of it all; the decision was not mine, so the guild isn't much. I also feel pain for the people who had to abandon their pets, for the animals both domestic and wild that are caught up in all of this. The photographs are not mine.
