Pari arrives at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital

It’s time to celebrate! After extensive planning and a tremendous effort by our rescue team, Pari has safely arrived at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital. These first steps of freedom are powerfully symbolic, giving hope to all captive elephants in India. Let’s cheer Pari on and look forward to seeing her personality shine as her health improves and she no longer lives in fear.
Suffering from years of abuse, her many injuries mask her young age of just 20. In the coming weeks Pari will undergo extensive medical evaluations and initial treatment. She will receive nutritious food to help her regain strength, and of course many bananas and other treats to further win her trust. In time she will meet other resident elephant friends.
Please share and tell your friends and family how much Pari’s rescue means to you!
Will you consider becoming a monthly supporter of Wildlife SOS? As a member of our Elephant Freedom Team, you will help us with the ongoing care of the many elephants at our facilities. The Freedom Team gives us the confidence to mount future rescues that save more elephants like Pari.

My only wish she can walk properly & live a happy painless life.

[@SerrasVictoria]

Pari, I am so sorry that you were abused by the worst of my species. There are no excuses for that kind of treatment. But now you are with the absolute BEST of my species, and you're going to have a much better life now. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Wildlife SOS team!! 💖 You always go above and beyond to help these lovely creatures, and we love you all for that! 🤗🙏

Well said.🙌🏻

I am also so sorry Pari for the way my fellow man treated you but you no longer have to worry or go back to that terrible place where these animals/humans mistreated you.!!!

Oh, Pari, I have never seen and elephant's feet as neglected as yours. I am so, so sorry for what you have endured for 20 years and so, so excited for what you will experience for the rest of your life.

I seriously want to move here and help with the elephants!! This is so amazing! And to see these enormous creatures, who could kill a human instantly, be so beaten down and abused just lets you know how gentle elephants are and they just want freedom and kindness. Most people are evil monsters but there are a few good ones in the world!

Please, please make more videos of her in the first hours and days in her new home...it makes us feel closer to her and lets us see how she is adapting to her new life. I love how she took a bit of soil in her trunk and threw it on herself even before leaving the ambulance...already she wants to fit in and to better know her surroundings. Brave, brave girl...may she soon - very soon - know that there are humans who do care and will not only give her good food and real love, but soul and body healing care. Bless.

[@dashimansu]

I hope she gets well soon. Love you guys you're super awesome ❤️🙏

[@diniasantos9117]

It is so emotional the moment Pari stepped on the soil of the sanctuary. It is also heartbreaking to see the poor condition of his legs. I do not want to think about the years and years pf man’s abuses and cruelty he has gone through. Thank you, Wildlife SOS, for turning her life around for the better. I am confident that Pari will now enjoy the life that she deserves. Looking forward to more years of happy and healthy life for Pari. My gratitude to you, people.

[@susantetreault9588]

Watching her walk literally makes me cry. It breaks my heart that she lived such a horrific life. If the stupid people would stop paying for rides this could end. Thank you all for what your doing for her. Can't wait to see updates!❤

[@Kathrin-e8s]

sadly it is accepted by the society, lack of knowledge about elephants and systematic abuse has become our culture. We don't see anything wrong in riding an elephant, seeing chained and pierced elephant is accepted by the temples and hence becomes a societal norm.

[@mel6109]

The Wildlife SOS team are angels of mercy for all you do. You will be blessed. There are several elephants in the US being used and abused for human entertainment, living very isolated lives in substandard environments. Yet all efforts to rescue them and get them retired to the beautiful elephant sanctuaries in Georgia and Tennessee fail because authorities refuse to take action and help them. It's disgraceful! Thank you for saving Pari. Hope my monthly donation will help with her medical care.
