A trip to the Phnom Tamao wildlife rehabilitation centre run by the Wildlife Allliance. We were shown around by one of the keepers - animals here having been here either because they have lived in captivity and can not be released back into the wild, or because they have been confiscated from other zoos due to poor condition, or rescued from the wild in order to be rehabilitated.
Our guide had worked in NGOs on projects involving discouraging hunting and mistreatment of animals. He was quick to report a pet otter that we saw tethered to a post along the river one day. It would have been brought to this centre until in full health and then released back to the wild.
This is a clouded leopard. I don't think it was going to be released anytime soon - although I do think it is looking rather harmless here.
It is good that there are such organizations as this Wildlife Alliance. But I'm afraid there are a lot more deplorable animals that do not get accommodation like this clouded leopard. I wish him very much that he feels something like contentment.
