Well, I hoped it would be a natural cause, and not human intervention for whatever reason.
Though, of course that is never ruled out.

Hopefully it won't affect more animals, lets hope their immune system will take care of it before it's too late.

Thanks for the update. Good to hear the media is still a bit on it.

The park remains closed for an undefined period of time.
I still haven't been to Kui Buri, and hope to visit as soon as it re-opens.

Don't know what to think of all this news; the moving around of the park chiefs.
Let's hope protection of the parks and its wildlife will be more important to them than personal gain...

Looks as though Kui Buri will remain closed until they can be assured it is eradicated fully ...... Foot and Mouth

"Since it is believed that the foot-and-mouth disease might have been transmitted from a wild animal that was returned to nature without the knowledge of the authorities, she said the public and relevant agencies would be warned to no longer release animals without proper screening."

Wonder what will happen to the 'fall guys'? the DNP and local officials who were accused of conflict and unjustly blamed?

I reckon they need an apology and reinstating.

If disease was accidentally introduced via a reintroduction - learn from it and don't let mistakes like that happen again. Screen reintroduced wildlife, vaccinate them and track what happens post release. IUCN have some well thought out guidelines
