Pygmy elephants poisoned in Sabah
A baby elephant caressing its lifeless mother: That was the heart-tugging image that caused an international scandal in January when 14 pygmy elephants – 10 females and four males aged between four and 20 years – were found dead in Sabah’s Gunung Rare Forest Reserve. When news broke out that the endangered pachyderms had succumbed to poisoning, allegedly by workers in oil palm plantations bordering the reserve, it hit home hard.

How much of our natural fauna are we willing to sacrifice for profit? Despite rewards posted for information on the culprits, it’s doubtful we’ll ever know what really happened. Our only consolation is that Baby Joe, who had stayed beside his mother’s carcass for days before being found, is doing well.

結果 (繁體中文) 2:

侏儒象沙巴毒死
一隻小象撫摸著它的毫無生氣的母親：那是心臟，揪著的形象，在一月引起了國際醜聞時14侏儒象-女10，四熟成了四至20歲之間的男性-是在沙巴州的山發現死罕見的森林保護區。當消息傳出指出瀕危厚皮動物已經被工人油棕種植園接壤的儲備死於中毒，據稱，它擊中了要害硬。

怎麼我們的自然動物的錢，我們願意犧牲利潤？儘管對罪犯信息公佈的獎勵，這是值得懷疑的，我們永遠不會知道到底發生了什麼。我們唯一值得安慰的是，嬰兒喬，誰他娘的屍體旁邊呆了幾天被發現之前，做得很好。
