Two cubs

On 11 December 2017 Nigel Grier wrote to Paul Sein Twa and others that poachers had killed a sun bear at Mu Aye Pu and that two young cubs were in a simple local pen. He asked for diet and housing advice and said a Wildlife Rangers programme was being ramped up.1

Matt Hunt, a specialist, sent rearing notes. Kurt Hanson added an unsourced report of a wounded cat nearby and mentioned Sabine, “the German doctor at Mu Aye Pu.”1

Paul Sein Twa replied on 14 December: glad the cubs were being cared for; KNDO rangers under Nerdah were already protecting wildlife there; any formal join with KWCI needed a Forestry Department agreement first.1

In 2020 newspapers reported a public dispute about later care and payment. Grier denied the unpaid-care account. Those are later allegations and denials, recorded in the development chapter. They are not retried here.453
