Authorities are preparing to stop 99 elephants<\/span> and thousands of villagers from entering Thailand’s capital to protest the possible dissolution of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s political party, the military said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“The authorities are trying to convince the elephant owners not to bring their animals to Bangkok. We have to use all means to stop the elephants from joining the political rally,” said Prayuth Chanocha, commander of the 1st Army, which is responsible for peacekeeping in Bangkok.<\/p>\n

Update: Police chief Adisorn Nonsee says, “<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Both the mahouts and their elephants would be arrested….<\/a>“
