Todate 14 endangered Borneo pygmy elephants have been found myteriously poisoned to death in Gunung Rara Forest Reserve, Sabah, East Malaysia. We request that the government expedite the investigation into the deaths of these magnificent creatures and, if they had been deliberately poisoned , to bring those reponsible to justice.
It is believed that the 14 jumbos belonged to a single herd. The entire herd has been wiped out save for one, a 3-month-old baby named Baby Joe.
The image of Baby Joe tugging at his dead mother touched the hearts of many. As human species, we are the only ones who can speak up on behalf of Baby Joe and push for answers on how his mother and his relatives ended up dead in a forest reserve. The grassroot of the problem which is human-animal conflict and encroachment of forest areas should be addressed as well to prevent such incidences from occuring in future.
Baby Joe deserves justice as he is orphaned and his freedom to roam in his natural habitat with his heard, has been snatched away from him. He needs answers to why his mother was brutally poisoned and probably suffered a painful death.
Please help to get those answers for Baby Joe...
