KOTA KINABALU: No bullets were found in the Bornean pygmy elephant which was killed at an oil palm plantation last Friday. “Although it was initially suspected that the elephant was shot, there were no bullets found in the body or nearby. The elephant believed to be in his 20s and with a height of 2.5m was found dead by plantation workers. “I am saddened with every episode as a similar incident happened less than a month after an elephant was found dead in Tawau with 70 bullets,” she said. Liew also called on plantation companies to work with enforcement agencies to tighten security to stop poachers.
