World Vets Thailand Elephant Experience

This summer World Vets had the opportunity to work at an elephant sanctuary located in northern Thailand. Our volunteers took part in routine daily tasks involving the general care, feeding and maintenance of elephants. They also provided ongoing veterinary attention that various elephants require due to injures suffered prior to their re-location to the sanctuary. What’s more, we also used this experience as a teaching opportunity for students to learn more about elephant anatomy, medicine and treatments.
