Vientiane, Laos - A shootout between a gang of poachers and elephant handlers in Laos left one man and one pachyderm dead, news reports said Tuesday.
The gang allegedly attacked the mahouts at midnight on August 9 in Hinheup district, Vientiane province, in an attempt to slaughter four elephants for their ivory and body parts, district governor Chanpaeng Douangphachan told the Vientiane Times.
Chanpaeng said the poachers fired upon the mahouts, sparking a brief shootout before the elephant minders fled and informed authorities.
When police arrived at the scene they found one dead poacher and one dismembered pachyderm.
"From our initial investigation, we have learnt how the poachers worked together as a gang. We are quite positive that the details we have about the dead man will lead us to tracking down his friends," Chanpaeng said.
Mahouts are authorized to carry guns to protect their elephants in Laos, which now has less than 500 domesticated pachyderm.
In 1989, Laos banned the hunting and killing of endangered species including elephants. In 2004, it joined the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
