However, the director of the legal department of the Thai animal protection group WatchDog Foundation said tracking the perpetrators may be challenging as they are foreign tourists.
Despite this, the foundation hopes witnesses and posters of the incident can provide more information so the police can take action and hold the tourists accountable.
