Brutalized elephant dies in Dak Lak resort
Print A tame elephant that had been stabbed dozens of times by poachers looking to steal its tusks two months ago died Thursday at a resort in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak.
The male elephant, Pak Cu, which was owned by the Ban Don Tourism Area in Buon Don District, had been attacked on October 17.
Its tail was nearly cut off and the bones in his hind legs were exposed after the brutal attack.
Le Thi Thanh Ha, the resort’s director, said the animal could not make it despite the best treatment.
It had used to carry tourists on its back.
