Another blow has been dealt by police on Phuket to those who would exploit the irresistable cuteness of an endangered primate, as Eakkapop Thongtub reports for The Phuket News:
A 23-year-old man was arrested Saturday for possession of a Loris without permission.
Kathu police arrested Nattapon “Ice” Kensing of Burung Khan Province in Patong.
Police seized the Loris from Nattapon’s bag, as well as his black Polaroid camera. The Loris will be released back into its natural habitat.
Nattapon was charged with possessing an endangered animal without permission and abusing and or humiliating other people.
