[News] เดิมเคยมี "เกาะคนโกง" ใน Fall Guys ที่ให้เหล่าชาวโกงเข้าไปจับคู่เล่นกันเอง แต่ปัจจุบันได้ถูกยกเลิกการใช้งานไปแล้ว
.
ทาง Twitter หลักของ Fall Guys ได้ออกมาเปิดเผยว่า จริงๆ ตัวเกมมีระบบป้องกันการโกง ตั้งแต่วันแรกที่เปิดให้เล่นแล้ว รวมถึงมี "Cheater Island" หรือ "เกาะคนโกง" ซึ่งเป็นสถานที่ "ที่ชาวโกงจะถูกนำมารวมกันและให้แข่งขันกันเอง เพื่อชิงมงกฎที่น่าอับอาย" ด้วย แต่เกาะดังกล่าวได้ถูกปิดไปด้วยเหตุผลบางอย่าง

Continue Reading[News News Originally there was a ′′ Cheater Island ′′ in Fall Guys that let cheaters match themselves, but now they have been disabled.
.
Fall Guys's main Twitter has revealed that the game has a defensive anti-cheating system since the first day it's open, including ′′ Cheater Island ′′ or ′′ Cheater Island ′′ where the cheaters are brought together and competed in. To win an embarrassing rule ′′ too, but such islands have been closed for some reason.
.
′′ We've got you some spicy content this week as the development team is busy developing new updates.
.
But now... buckle up, get ready.
.
Let me tell you a story that let's call it ' Glory and collapse of a cheater island '
.
Permission to tag Netflix. In case he wants to take it to film or film series.
.
On the first day of the game, we had a cheating detection in the game. At this point, we didn't ban anyone and did just collecting data carefully.
.
We want to be 100 % sure that our cheating detection system will only arrest cheating people and no misguidance!
.
After we confirmed that it worked, we have secretly launched Fall Guy Cheater Island ™. It's a wonderland where the cheater will compete happily for cheating people's rule.
.
It's a normal crown, but it's put in guilt and regret.
.
A bit back at this point we have information about who is cheating but we don't do anything with that information.
.
Fall Boys Cheater Island has 0 players in it.
.
So, with extreme caution every time, we have started to downgrade the cheating detection criteria. If you pass that criteria, you will be marked as a cheater.
.
Which I have to say at this point are the cheater. They are very clever. If they know they are marked as cheaters, they will find out what makes them marked. And they will tell other cheater.
.
Our criteria is very kind. Cheater will get caught but won't suddenly blow away. We hope they know that cheating is ruining the fun of playing.
.
But the majority of cheaters keep cheating.
.
We want gamers to play fun, but not to ruin other people's fun, so we are periodically decreasing the detection threshold.
.
So if you're marked as a cheater, you'll be able to finish the game playing. The next time you try to log in, you'll only be caught up with the cheater (unknowingly) and you'll be there. The queue is in. Cheater Island
.
Now imagine, you have more than 40 players in the Cheater Island game. It's not a real world place. Cheater Island is its own server. It means you need enough cheaters in your zone to start the game on. Cheater Island
.
If there aren't enough cheaters on that server, you'll have to sit and watch Fallys fall down [while waiting for the full room to play that eye tā forever, but there's some buck. That can cause something like this too.
.
But most of the time people say they can't find a room, they're a cheater. And we don't want to reveal this to them.
.
I think you guys should notice that we are trying to be open minded and straightforward in communication with all of you. It's hard as hell to talk about cheating people because everything we say is like adding more weapons to these people. They will be Use those information to develop their own cheating.
.
It's been a long time since there weren't enough cheaters to start this race. And when we downgrade our detection criteria, more and more cheaters caught.
.
Still no competition on Cheater Island because all the cheaters are watching Fall Guys drop and waiting for the match keep going and say the game is broken.
.
At this point, the cheater are starting to realize that they can team up with friends who don't cheat and can match with them. They can escape from Cheater Island, which we're speeding up to fix the loophole before they all get to them. I know.
.
And the cheaters know that they can use Family-Sharing system to share their game with other accounts and use other accounts to avoid Cheater Island. We've followed the family-sharing system to fix this.
.
It's very difficult to deal with cheaters. It's very tricky. They are very crafty.
.
All this time, we keep increasing our cheating detection criteria and we are 100 % sure that whoever is marked as a cheater is actually a cheater. This is very important to us because we don't want to ban wrong.
.
Last week, something exciting happened, we finally have enough cheater to match and make a match on Cheater Island.
.
And the new problem arises is game people upload videos they * think khid ẁā is Cheater Island.
.
Someone uploaded a video on Reddit with the topic of ' Used to play on Fall Mountain where all players use a cheater? ' The problem is, it looks like Cheater Island a lot, but we're not 100 % sure-https://twitter.com/FallGuysGame/status/1305487609565794305
.
And another video we think it's Cheater Island where the person who recorded this video didn't cheat. Maybe they didn't cheat but just video or it's a player in the island. Cheater Island was really stuffed. But either way, it makes the game look bad-https://twitter.com/FallGuysGame/status/1305487611629375489
.
We know that the Cheater Island match is really happening. We just don't know if that's what these videos show. So we disable Cheater Island and use how to keep cheaters from logging in to the game instead and improve the cheating detection criteria. Ours keep getting better with
.
Well, our cheating detection system is good, but we didn't expect this many players to play and we didn't realize some players would try to cheat like this.
.
We tried to build an honest system, but when we knew we were at war, we had to contact the expert team at Epic.
.
Our next update is now called BIG YEETUS AND ANTI-CHEATUS, where we'll tell you about the part of Yeetus later, but for Anti-Cheatus we'll add Epic's anti-cheating system to be a big step ahead and we'll be. Continuously improving many things.
.
I just feel like this is a very long article, but this is the story of Cheater Island and this is why we have always answered so vaguely!"
.
Fall Guys now available on PS4 and Steam

#尋人啟事
#胡湘荷妳在哪裡

我的母親已八十歲，
疫情期間，
母親常在電話跟我聊一些過去的事情，
母親的記憶力非常好，
從她十歲開始到現在，
她幾乎能記得所有的事情。

當然，
她記的幾乎都是些令人心碎的事。

就像她的妹妹＿
我的小阿姨，
跟她失聯了四十三年的事，
一直讓母親忘不了。

小阿姨屬猴，
64歲、
1956年出生。
大約1977年離開緬甸，
去到泰國投靠大舅，
又輾轉在1978年左右去了加拿大。
之後，
就失去了聯絡。

自從有網路以來，
我就幫忙母親在各種尋人版上刊登過尋人啟事，
但都沒有下文。
可能是刊登的資訊不齊全。

四十三年前，
小阿姨從緬甸到泰國又到加拿大，
可能證件、姓名等都跟原本的不一樣了。

近期，
與我母親通話，
母親又提到失聯的小阿姨。
她叮嚀我們是否能幫忙她再找找看。

母親今年八十歲，
她很想知道她的小妹，
是否還活在這世界上？

附上母親說的話，
她讓我公佈在網路上。

希望有緣，
我的小阿姨能看到。

#胡湘荷
#尋人

胡湘荷，妳在哪裡？

阿湘，
我是妳的二姐胡明珠。
我們分別有好長一段時間了。

妳離開緬甸時，
我二兒子才剛出生，
都還不滿一個月，
妳來看他時，
還說：
「他的臉白白的，
是不是我給他擦粉？」
現在，
我二兒子四十三歲，
我呢，
已經快滿八十二歲，
八十多歲，
是老人了。

人家說，
人愈老記性愈差，
我是相反，
我的記性反倒是愈老愈好。
但是，我能記住的，
都是些傷心的事情。

也許，
我們這代人，
也沒有什麼快樂的事情可以記住。
就像妳的離開，
我們從此失去聯絡，
想起妳，
就讓我難過。

妳還活著嗎？
我想妳會活得好好的。
妳有幾個小娃了？
過得怎麼樣呢？

四十三年前，
妳離開腊戌時，
妳還在腊戌漢人學校唸書。

有天放學，
我去攔住妳，
跟妳說：
「妳以後每天下課後就來我家吃飯，
別去大姐家吃了…」
妳說：「好」。
妳也就跟著我到我家吃飯了。

我還記得，
妳才剛坐下，
我不知怎麼搞的，
就說了那些話。

我說：
「大姐讓妳以後來我這裡吃飯，
別去她家吃了，
讓妳三姐去她家吃，
妳三姐不挑嘴，
妳比較挑嘴…」。

這些話，
是大姐跟我說的，
我當時太懵，
太老實，
我也不曉得，
為什麼要說這些大姐講的話？
為什麼要講給妳聽？

我完全，
沒有擔待不了妳的意思呀。
不管多窮，
姐妹間互相照顧都是應該的，
我轉述大姐說妳的那些話，
是沒有任何理由的，
就是我以為是姐妹之間的聊天，
講出來而已。

我那時候過得很困難，
養著六個小娃，
病死了兩個。
但是，
照顧自己的妹妹是天經地義的。

那天，
我邊說就邊到廚房去炒菜，
難得妳來這裡吃飯，
總要多一樣什麼菜才行。

我炒完菜端著出來，
妳就不見了。

當時，
房東許老嬤嬤還在場，
她說，
「我轉進廚房，
妳就站起來走了…」

我那時才發覺；
我講錯話了。

妳這麼敏感的人呀！

我一路追著妳，
追到大水塘路上＿
到妳跟妳三姐住的地方，
妳正在哭。
妳正在哭著跟妳三姐吵架，
妳跟妳三姐說：
「二哥寄來的錢分來…」
妳三姐不敢應妳，
在旁沉默著。
這筆妳要的錢，
確實是妳二哥寄來給妳們兩姐妹的生活費。

那時，
媽媽剛去世不久，
大哥人去了泰國；
在泰國北部滿堂安了家，
家裡所有的兄弟陸續去了泰國。
而爸爸因為沒身份證在貴概被移民局抓住，
送到仰光坐滿九年牢，
緬甸政府正打算著把他送到台灣去的時候…

那天，
我看著妳哭，
我就明白了妳的心情。

妳三姐在準備跟她愛人私奔，
在腊戌妳也只有大姐、我和妳三姐了。

我和大姐早結婚，
各自已有有家庭。
如今妳三姐又要嫁人，
大哥他們又遠在泰國，
母親去世，
父親坐牢。
妳接下來就要孤苦零丁的一個人生存了。

一個十八歲的女孩。
我知道妳的害怕和難過。

那天，
看著妳哭，
我很後悔把大姐說的話講出來。

妳應該了解我的。
我一直都盡力照顧我的家人，
當時從雲南背著妳逃難到緬甸邊境，
背了一天一夜。
我都是自願的。

妳記得嗎？
妳到腊戌讀書時，
很想要一條件仔褲，
那時許多人都買不起，
我還是費盡力氣買給妳。
妳知道我是心疼妳的。

妳離開腊戌的那天，
妳說妳要去泰國了。
臨走時，
我拿了300塊錢給妳，
妳知道嗎？
那時候我拿出300塊錢緬幣是到處借來的錢呀。

阿湘，
我知道妳一直都在受苦，
去到泰國，
大嫂可能待不得妳，
妳二哥、三哥他們當時也沒能力照顧妳，
妳在泰國又沒有合法的身份；
哪可能有其它去處。

最後妳選擇結婚，
我想也只是為了解脫這些難過的生活罷了。

之後，
就聽說妳嫁了人，
跟著丈夫家去了加拿大。

之後，
我就再也就打聽不到妳的下落了。

我們最後的連繫，
停留在泰國北部滿堂，
或是停留在泰緬邊境美賽，
我都有些記不得了。

那時，
聽說妳從大哥家跑出來了？
又聽說妳去暫住在一對老年夫妻的家裡？
這些，
都是後來傳到腊戌的消息了。

妳去加拿大前，
還寄來給我和大姐和妳三姐每個人一件衣裳布、
一條籠基。
三份禮物裡夾著三張白紙，
寫著：「大姐的、二姐的、三姐的…」。
我還記得，
那是託「義號佛堂」楊前人帶來的禮物。

那條籠基到現在我還留著＿
孔雀花紋的。

阿湘，
我這個作二姐的也羞愧妳了。
當時，
聽到這些關於妳的困難的消息，
只能每天想念著，
想到傷心，
我沒有任何能力。

那時，
我是，
連從緬甸腊戌到泰國邊境的車票都買不起呀。
當時我養著這麼多小娃，
吃一口飯都難。

阿湘，
現在講這些都只是回憶了，
都是我們老人家的回憶，
都不重要了。

那為什麼還要講這些呢？
就是，
為了，
想讓妳看到，
看到這些我說的話，
證實，
我是妳的二姐而已。
想讓妳知道，
我一直在找妳。

我活到八十歲，
夠了，
人活這麼老沒什麼意思，
都盡是傷心的事情。

我不知哪天會死去。
但如果可能的話，
在死去之前，
能讓我知道一下妳的消息。

我想知道，
妳在哪裡？
我想知道，
妳還活著嗎？

阿湘，
爸爸十幾年前已經去世，
大哥六年前去世，
連大姐，
前年也不在世上了。

妳二哥；
他住在泰國山邊荒地裡，
幫人家看田地，
過得不是很好，
但也不用擔心，
我在泰國的二兒子和大姑娘時常會去照顧他。

妳三哥，
講到也是讓我難過呀。

他大前年腦出血，
去醫院醫好了，
但醫好後，
很奇怪，
突然忘記了漢人話，
只會講泰國話。
後來不久，
他就偷偷上吊自殺了。

你說，
我們兄弟姐妹這是什麼樣的命運呢？

阿湘，
我們家沒剩下什麼人了，
妳三姐、妳四哥還在泰國。
還有我，
我還活著。
我還在緬甸，在腊戌。

除了妳，
我們一家人也就剩下這三個人了。

阿湘，
我們已經分別已四十三年，
妳也有六十多歲了吧？
我很想知道，
妳在哪裡？
妳還活著嗎？

如果有緣，
妳看到這信，
就回我一下吧。

妳的二姐胡明珠，
日日夜夜，
在等妳的消息。

#notice for a missing person

translated by Jane Lin
****************

Where are you, Hu Shine-Ho?

Ah-Shine,
This is your 2nd sister, Hu Ming-Ju. It has been a long time since we last saw each other. When you left Burma, my 2nd son was not even one-month-old. You asked why he was so fair-skinned? Had I put powder on his face? Now, he is 43 and I am almost 82.

Eighty something...I am indeed an old woman! People say that you lose your memory as you age. I am quite the opposite. The older I get, the better I remember! But, what I remember is nothing but sadness. Perhaps, our generation just doesn't have much happiness. Like you leaving home, we losing contact forever…. The thought of you puts me in such despair. Are you still alive? I imagine you living a good life?!! How many children? How are you?

Forty-three years ago, you were still a student at Chinese High School in Lashio. One day after school, I went to intercept you, "From now on, come to my home after school. Don't go to 1st sister's for dinner anymore." You said, "OK" and followed me home.

I still remember clearly that you had just sat down and I said, "The first sister asks that you come to me for dinner. She will take 3rd sister who's easy-going, not like you, a picky eater." I don't know what possessed me that day? Why I had to tell you what 1st sister had to say? Was I too naive? Too honest? Too stupid? I had absolutely no intension not to take care of you - we are sisters!!!! We have to care for each other, no matter how poor we are!!! The first sister's words just came out as a casual chat between sisters. Nothing more!

Life was tough for me at the time. Diseases took away two of my six children. But that didn't mean I would ignore my God-given responsibility as your elder sister. Without realizing the impact of my "casual chat", I went into the kitchen wondering what additional dish I could come up with for your first dinner with us. When I came out with the dishes, you were already gone! According to our landlady, Granny Hsu, you just got up and left as soon as I was out of sight. Only then did I realize my stupid mistake and how sensitive you were! Immediately, I ran after you, all the way to Big Pond Road where you and 3rd sister stayed. You were crying, asking 3rd sister for the money that 2nd brother sent. 3rd sister just kept quiet.

Indeed! The money that you demanded from 3rd sister was to cover living expenses for both of you. At that time, Mother had already passed away. The first brother went to Thailand, had already settled his own family in Pong Ngam. All the brothers followed suit. Father got caught in Kutkai by the immigration for not having an I.D. and had been in prison in Rangoon for 9 years. The Burmese government was just about to send him to Taiwan…. That day, while watching you cry, I understood how you felt. The third sister was getting ready to run away with her lover and both 1st sister and I were married young with our own families to deal with. As an 18-year-old with no mother, a father in prison, you must have felt all alone, sad and very scared.

I was filled with regrets watching you that day. But, please understand that I have always tried my best to take care of my family. When we escaped from Yunnan to Burma as refugees, I carried you on my back all day and all night without any complaints. When you went to Lashio for school, you wanted a pair of jeans so badly, remember? It was such a luxury that most people could not afford. Yet, I gathered all my might to get you a pair. You know I always have a soft spot for you, don't you? The day you were leaving Lashio for Thailand, do you know how many places I had to try to gather 300 Burmese kyats for you???

Ah-Shine, I know it was a huge struggle for you in Thailand. It's impossible that 1st sister-in-law would put you up. Second and 3rd brothers were in no position to help you….. I suppose you were pushed into marriage, just to end this desperate situation. Last I heard, you moved to Canada with your husband. From that point onward, in spite of all the efforts, I just couldn't find any trace of your whereabouts.

Our last contact stopped at Pong Ngam, Thailand. Or, was it MaeSai? I can't quite remember now. The news came to Lashio that you had run away from 1st brother's home. Later, you were temporarily staying with an older couple….

Before leaving for Canada, you sent, via Abbott Yang of the Yi Buddhist Hall, a package for us - each gift had a piece of dress fabric and a longyi, clearly labeled on a piece of white paper: "for 1st sister," "for 2nd sister," "for 3rd sister." I still have that longyi, with a peacock pattern, after all these years!

Ah-Shine, I feel deeply embarrassed to be your elder sister. Upon hearing the challenges that you had to face at the time, I could do nothing but worrying and feeling sad. I couldn't even afford the bus fare from Lashio to the Thai border. I barely managed to feed my own children!
Ah-Shine, What's the use of talking about these old memories? These sad memories of us old people have no importance but to serve to show you that I am indeed your 2nd sister.… that I have been looking for you all these years.

To live in my eighties is more than enough for me. It's not much fun to live this long - just a lifetime of sadness. I have no idea when I will die and I don't really care. I just wish that I could hear from/about you before I leave this world. I want to know where you are. I want to know if you are still alive.

Ah-Shine, Father passed away more than a decade ago. The first brother left us 6 years ago, so did the first sister 3 years ago. The second brother works as a field caretaker in a remote Thai mountainside. It's not a good life, but both my 2nd son and first daughter are also in Thailand; can visit and take care of him often. The saddest is our 3rd brother. He had a stroke 3 years ago. After recovery, he suddenly forgot his Chinese, could only speak in Thai. Not long after, he hanged himself! Please tell me what kind of fate has been bestowed on our siblings??? What is the meaning of life???
Ah-Shine, There aren't that many of us left, only 3rd sister and 4th brother in Thailand and me still in Burma. In Lashio.

Ah-Shine, We have been apart for 43 years. You should be in your 60s by now. I really would like to know if you are still alive and where you live. God willing, you will see this letter and reply!!! (humingju1638@gmail.com)

Waiting to hear from you, day and night!

Second sister, Hu Ming-Ju

拒絕任何動物表演行為
去泰國不要騎大象看大象表演🐘

(English version below)
前陣子因為朋友阿莫去了趟大象志工，講述了許多故事與知識，覺得非常必須統整起來跟大家分享...(文長)。---at Elephant Nature Park(ENP)

▲簡單的認識是:
不鎖、不勾、不騎、不沖涼、不馬戲

Simple check list for elephants:
NO chain, NO bullhocks, NO ride, NO bath, NO performance

▲兩個關於大象的經歷:
🐘Mae Yu
1984年生
數度被強迫交配、搶走小孩，加上過度工作前腳受傷無法行走整體狀況極差，在被救援後不管大家如何努力她都沒有求生意志... 在嘗試各種方法後，大家決定幫她找回孩子。

非常幸運的，真的在馬戲中找到她的孩子Boi。
在他們相見那天，他們叫喊聲是響遍山谷的，維持許久(工作人員甚至也從沒聽過那樣的叫聲)，他們相認相擁。終於Yui恢復進食，狀況才慢慢好轉。

他們真的真的非常幸運...因為被勞役、被拿來娛樂的甚至還有數千隻，他們有許多老了、跛了、瞎了，還有心理出狀況的。

🐘Mae Boonjan
在多次受孕後，最後一次生小孩時因為知道自己的孩子又快要被帶走，讓他想踩死自己的小孩Zuki，被馬戲訓練師制止並帶走。

在多次的打擊和崩潰而精神出了問題的Boonjan，在被救援後也還是無法與其他象和平共處，目前在林中依然獨處孤獨的生活著。

雖然ENP將Zuki找回，但也許因斷奶太久，Boonjan並不太認得自己的小孩，加上Zuki天生的缺陷也讓他不久後就夭折了。

被救援的象並不是免費的，在泰國一隻小象就要200萬泰銖，就算沒有利用價值的老象也要價幾十萬，因為他們還是可以被迫受孕，或奪走象牙、製作皮包.......。

*2/24 經歷更新：
在ENP陸續救援的數十隻象中，大部分都願意重新相信人類，但也會有無法平息苦痛與怒火的象⋯。例如其中一隻已傷害了不少人，在救援後甚至會試圖將靠近柵欄的人捲進去。

⋯過去他在馬戲工作，因選擇反抗而被戳瞎了眼(為了讓他失去方向感而乖乖就範)，後來剛烈的他也許帶著赴死決心更強烈的反抗，導致他連左耳都被割下半只，最後被麻醉制服。人們不敢再靠近他，也決定要活活餓死他。

他的怒火，或許帶著超越我們想像的恐懼⋯。
被救援的他還是走來走去、發出尖叫聲、並試圖脫離圍欄。我們能同理，卻也真的無法體會他過去所承受的痛苦。

▲更多的是:
1. 香蕉對大象而言就像人類的甜食，其實吃多了也不好。
2. 大象用氣味辨識人，像聞鞋子、腳。

3. 大象甩耳是為了散熱，因耳朵遍布血管所以散熱快，並幫助身體降溫。

4. 大象有些喜歡玩水，但也有不喜歡的，而且會怕冷。他們喜歡泥巴浴可以保濕、驅蚊，觀光行程中的幫大象洗浴容易導致皮膚乾燥甚至潰爛。

5. 正常的象是有弧度的山丘狀背部，他們的脖子、象鼻強壯，可捲起500kg重物。但象背很脆弱，終年被騎乘下來背部會塌陷，有些甚至會導致膝蓋無法彎曲，連睡覺都要站著。

6. Phajaan儀式，會將象單獨關進一個只能站立的木製牢籠，除了剝奪水和食物外，他們還會不斷撥放噪音讓象保持清醒。

用尖銳的竹籤或釘子刺進他的腳趾、用象勾劃破耳朵。早晨和傍晚還必須被象勾抽打一小時。當象虛弱得無法站立時還會套上繩索勒住他們的頸部。

Phajaan 就是毀壞，摧毀象的意志，讓他們崩潰...再利用恐懼來進行"訓練"。而訓練的每一天都還是持續地被折磨...。

7. 被囚禁的他們運氣好的話一天能喝5-10公升的水(原應是140-200)，只有乾棕櫚葉可吃。很多不聽話的象甚至被打斷腿...。

8. 大象強暴：許多象媽媽是被強迫交配的，他們的身心受到極大傷害，甚至一聞或看到公象就會拼命逃跑，但同時因為被鐵鍊鍊住的狀態導致他們臀部塌陷後肢殘障(Bualoi is one of them)。

9. 小象除了爸媽之外還有保母，保母會擔起照顧的責任亦步亦趨。爸媽一定會盡全力保護小象，反抗盜獵者的最後可能就是被殺掉...包括保母，他們才能帶走小象。

10. 被救援的象恢復期可能需要1-2年才能回到[較健康]的狀態，有些甚至在被解開鐵鍊時會強烈驚慌害怕到尿失禁，有人靠近就會要自己舌頭，也完全不敢進食⋯。

*2/28更新：
Ploy Thong 雙眼失明，估計約30歲，他於泰國芭堤雅待了16年，日復一日從大早到日落的載著遊客，用象鼻嗅探方向。在更早之前也曾待在馬戲團中。

在解救Bua Keaw時大象基金會的志工注意到Ploy的痛苦而與他的主人進行談判，終於去年(20180203)被ENP營救。到達象園的他發出低沈的聲音，吸引了在不遠叢林中的象群，他們都紛紛趕上前去迎接他，大家用象鼻親切的撫摸這隻盲象，象鼻纏繞著彼此。猜想他必定永遠不會忘記新家庭成員們的溫暖。(如有興趣可關鍵字搜尋Ploy Thong，此段有影片紀錄）

▲小插曲：
隔著一條河，位在ENP對面的即是以營利為目的的象營。可以看到他們一天到河邊洗了好多次澡，皮膚脆弱乾燥常常有傷口。那的象伕腰間掛著長勾，讓大象學人的姿勢坐下跪下以方便大家拍照，最後再讓他們騎上他的背，一次幾百塊。

阿莫問了ENP的工作人員：「難道都沒有大象逃跑過來嗎？」
他說：「幾個月前有一隻小象逃了過來，當時所有大象都停下動作，並走向這個孩子。

但很快的，他就被對面的公司捉回去了。當晚對面的河岸邊傳來小象的哭喊尖叫，而接下來的一個禮拜他都沒有再出來載客。(通常會被關在籠中防止逃跑，禁食挨餓，也免不了毒打)

那晚，園裏的大象們到了睡覺時間依然躁動、議論著、很不平靜。大家心裡也都十分難受卻都無能為力，因為一隻小象要價上百萬，而救援清單中還有200多隻狀況更緊急及情況更糟的大象們⋯。

除了希望大家把資訊傳遞出去外，也能一起祈求這隻小象、及其他還在受傷害的象們都能被更善待、被釋放，回歸自由與平安。

▲Two elephants experiences
🐘Mae Yui
''Mae Yui was the first elephant we rescued for this project. At that time, she was emotionally very ill. No matter how hard we tried to treat her wounds, she didn’t care. No willingness to thrive.

Mae Yui was forced to mate for three times and each time, her babies were taken away by the mahouts to undergo "Phajaan". Last time afterwards, she refused to work. That’s why the previous owner sold Mae Yui.

Fortunately, ENP actually found Mae Boi, the young baby of Mae Yui.

When Mae Yui and Mae Boi reunited. The moment they saw each other, they were roaring so loud, for so long. Anyone who heard that can deeply understand elephants are highly sentimental animals.

Once her baby Mae Boi returned, Mae Yui recovered shortly.''

🐘Mae Boonjan
The past of Mae Boonjan was as tragic as Mae Yui. She has been forced to breed for a few times in the industry (conventional practice). When she gave birth to her last baby Zuki, she knew the trainer would come and take it away soon. Or maybe Zuki was born disable - Mae Boonjan decided to kill her own baby.

And of course her mahout won’t let her do that (commercial considerations) – he stopped her and took away Zuki. Later ENP also rescued Zuki. However they separated for too long and Mae Boonjan could hardly remember Zuki. They didn’t make the bonding again. Since Zuki was born with defects, it died soon.

Mae Boonjan didn’t go along well with the group. She prefers to roam around on her own, quietly in the jungle.

The rescued elephant are not for free. In Thailand, a baby elephant will cost 2 million baht. Even if the old elephant without value is worth hundreds of thousands, they can still be forced to conceive, or take away ivory or make leather bags. ....

*2/24 update:
Among the dozens of elephants rescued by ENP, most are willing to believe in human beings again, but there are also some that can not calm the pain and anger... For example, one of them has hurt many people, even tried to involve people who near the fence after rescue.

In the past, he worked in a circus and was stabbed blind for choosing to resist (he was obedient in order to make him lose his sense of direction). Later, he might have the determination to die, and resist even stronger, which led to his left ear being cut off, and the end he was overcome by anesthesia. People were afraid to be closer any more and decided to starve him to death.

His anger, perhaps with more fear than we can imagine...
Now he was still walking around, screaming and trying to get out of the fence. We can understand, but never can really feel the pain he has experienced in the past.

1. Bananas for elephants are like our sweets.
2. Elephants use smell to identify people, like shoes and feet.

3. Elephant's ear is for heat dissipation. Because the ear is spread over the blood vessels, it dissipates heat fast, helps body cool down.

4. Depends on different personality, some of elephants love playing in water, some not, also, they are afraid of cold. They love mud baths to moisturize and repel mosquitoes. “Elephant bath” for tourist can easily lead to dry skin and even ulceration.

5. The normal elephant back is a curved hill-shaped. Their neck and trunk are strong and able to roll up 500 kg. However, the back is very fragile. When be riding all the year round, elephant's back will collapse. Some will even cause their knees unable to bend, that they can only stand sleep.

6. The Phajaan ceremony will separate the elephant into a wooden cage that can only stand. In addition to depriving water and food, they will continue to release noise to keep the elephant awake.

Use a sharp bamboo stick or nail to puncture elephant's toes and use bullhock to cut ears. Be beaten for one hour every morning and evening. When elephants are too weak to stand, they will put on the ropes to hold their necks.

Phajaan means ''destroying'', destroying elephant's mind, letting them collapse... so they can "train" them by fear. And training is still being tortured...

7. If they are lucky, they can drink 5-10 liters of water a day (it should be 140-200), and only dry palm leaves can eat. Many of the disobedient elephants even had their legs broken.... (Bualoi is one of them)

8. Many mothers are forced to mate, their body and mind are greatly hurt, when they smell or see the male elephant, they will straight run hard, but at the same time, because of the chained state, their hips collapse and hind limbs are disabled.

9. In addition to the parents, the baby elephant has a babysitter, and the babysitter will take responsibility for the care. Parents will do their best to protect family. The last thing to fight the poachers is to be killed...including the babysitter, so poachers can take baby elephant away.

10. The recovery period of the rescued elephants may take 1-2 years to return to a [healthier] state, and some will be super terrified when the chain is untied.

*2/28 Update:
Ploy Thong, blind, around 30 years old, spent 16 years in Pattaya, Thailand, taking tourists day in and day out from dawn to sunset, sniffing directions with his trunk. He had been in the circus before.

In rescuing Bua Keaw, elephant foundation volunteers noticed Ploy's suffering, so they negotiated with his owner. Finally, Ploy was rescued by ENP last year (20180203). When he arrived the park, he made a low voice, which attracted the elephants in the forest not far away. They all came up to meet him. They caressed the blind elephant with their trunks and wrapped them around each other. Guess he would never forget the warmth of his new family. (if you are interested, please search keyword Ploy Thong, this section has a video recorded.)

▲ Episode:
Across the river, opposite ENP, is a profit elephant camp. You can see elephants showering many times a day by the river, their skin weak, dry and with cuts. And man with a long hook around his waist, he let elephants knelt down like human so that everyone could take pictures, then let them ride on his back (hundreds of dollars at a time).

Amor asked the ENP staff: "Didn’t any of the elephants escape?"
"A few months ago there was a baby elephant run away, that time all the elephants stopped and went to the baby," he said.

But soon, he was caught back. That night the baby elephant screamed and cried loud across the river, and he did not come out to take any passengers for a week. (they were often kept in cages to prevent escape, starved them, fasted and beaten)

That night, the elephants were still restless, and talking at bedtime. There's nothing we can do for it, because a baby elephant costs millions of dollars, and there are more than 200 elephants on the rescue list who were in more urgent or worse conditions...

In addition to hoping that everyone can pass on the information, please also pray for this baby elephant and other who injured, to be treated better, released, and return to freedom and peace.
