- On December 22, Thai forces found two lions and three bears confined in cages at a casino near the Cambodia border.
- All animals were severely emaciated and deprived of food and water for an extended period, resulting in critical conditions.
- Veterinary teams conducted a high-risk operation to safely anesthetize and transport the weakened animals under time pressure.
- The rescued bears and lions were relocated to wildlife breeding stations for ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.
The male and female lions, the two bears and the sun bear were all in critical condition, extremely thin with frightened expressions.— Mr. Atthapol Charoenchansa, the director-general of the DNP, describes the condition of the rescued animals.
