A wildlife rescue foundation in Thailand says it is being harassed by the government for speaking out about alleged official involvement in elephant poaching. VOA’s Daniel Schearf reports from Phetchaburi province, where parks department officers have been raiding the group’s compound.

Thailand’s Department of National Parks last week began taking animals from the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand.

Officials say the foreign-run wildlife rescue group was unable to produce ownership documents for all of their animals and must surrender them.
