PRINCE: Day 2, Introduction To Outdoor Yard & Pool

[@marylawson6060]

Prince sleeping on the dirt and so tired bless his heart. 😢 God bless you for rescuing this wonderful elephant. They're mistreated for years and I'll never understand people with no heart. ❤🙏

[@Sandyo-wy7nk]

May God reward all who helped this elephant with 1,000 additional blessings. Deuteronomy 1:11.

[@margaretstutts4362]

Thank you! No elephant should be in a circus.

[@dcantrell5584]

No one yelling at him! Only words of encouragement. No one saying mean things to him, only kind words of how beautiful he is. He is so smart, slowly experiencing all the things around him, site, touch, taste! Love this so much. Long peaceful blessed life to all involved, but especially the beautiful boy!

[@yanksrule311]

Why would anyone that helped save him yell at him? Makes no sense.

He walked sooo carefully, as if he was afraid he'd wake up and find out this is only a dream!

I love seeing the beautiful elephants free from chains, suffering and loneliness! THANK GOD!!

[@videofan792]

How delightful to see this beautiful elephant become accustomed to a new home and gradually realize that his life has changed. His dear elephant heart must have overflowed with emotion. Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@sgtmajvimy]

An elephant enjoying water is always a wonderful site to behold 😍🤔

[@denisethompson3819]

I hope this beautiful boy, has others of his breed to eventually breed an have a wonderful life and company of his fellow kind. When I see elephants getting washed, I want to clean their tusks. It must be the mother in me. (Now don't forget to clean our teeth.)🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊

[@darlenemahaven9297]

It takes a special kind of people to do this. I’m so glad there are people like you in this world.

[@suziperret468]

Thanks to all who make the Elephant’s lives better and natural!

[@cherylcrozier5793]

I wept when I first saw this beautiful creature rescued and brought to this sanctuary! Thank you to you wonderful people that has brought peace and tranquility to this to this lovely elephant! My respect and love from Canada🇨🇦

[@pamelapayton3857]

There is a special place in Heaven for those who rescue, nurture and love all of God's creatures. On the other side of the coin the subhumans who abuse hurt and destroy those creatures should spend eternity cleaning filthy litter boxes!!!❤😂

I was going to say the same thing. His eyes got brighter immediately when getting a drink from the water. ❤

[@scarletttroquille3304]

I think Prince is the Baby Elephant that escaped the Circus and was running up Buffalo Speedway in Houston Texas , behind the Summit events Arena. It was Around that time , 1987-88 . He was All over the News , for weeks. Houston fell in Love with him . I worked at the Summit events as a teenager, it bothered me seeing Circus animals caged and Neglected. First time I saw him since he was a baby. Thankyou , Paws Love to You n Prince... I had so many Pets , as child Horses , dogs ,Cats, Rabbits , Squirrel, etc.. So Happy to See Prince🌹

[@karenparker7830]

My dad was the real estate director for the City of Houston at that time. He acquired the property for Houston for the Summit. I went to the opening when I was around 12 yrs old. My parents made me get an autograph from Debbie Reynolds. I didn't want to and didn't want to bother her, they made me anyway. This many years later I feel as if my Heavenly Father directed it all to bring us Joel Osteen's preaching and the church of Lakewood. I feel personally blessed they occupy what used to be the Summit. My dad is gone now, but I always have thr messages of Joel to encourage me when I need it! I didn't know about the escaped elephant in thr 80's, I will look that up. I have always wanted elephants to be able to live in many acres close to me just to see them be free.

[@rowanhard]

What a beautiful baby! A real joy to watch.

[@valansley]

Trying so hard NOT to do the wrong thing = Heart breaking = THANK YOU ELEPHANT ANGELS

[@gabe-po9yi]

The most poignant and heartbreaking at the same time: “You have CHOICES here, Prince, and you’re not going to know what to do.” Almost brings you to your knees in sadness for his past and celebration for his future.

[@kmr9347]

Just came across this video 12 years after it happened. I hope he's still living his best life. I loved when he pulled the grass up out of the ground, he knew to slap it against his chest to get the dirt off. Tell me animals don't understand to most human behaviors in their own surroundings, he proved they do. Everything he touches now is a gift. 🐘 💘

[@edith4334]

Same here I am overjoyed watching this

[@kmr9347]

@@edith4334 If more people would just take the time to enjoy these creatures when they have a chance to, their world would be less stressful & demanding. Animals have a way of showing us that we were ALL put on this earth for a purpose. 😃

I've always believed that between humans and the wonderful animal world, we BOTH give each other purpose. I can't even imagine my life without them in it. 💘

This beautiful precious elephant. He acted like he was not sure he was allowed to go outside in the yard area. This brought tears to my eyes.😢 God made this world for all of us to enjoy, animals and humans. I am happy that he is safe and can live out the rest of his years, being HAPPY and feeling SECURE.

Norma Trimble but it’s not just confined to elephants it spreads right across the animal kingdom. What gives man the right to abuse any animal, it’s beyond belief how low some humans can and do stoop. The penalties for committing such heinous crimes against defenceless beings needs reviewing and very soon

[@Plmncvb]

@@@carolstapleton9108 -- Couldn't agree more, I firmly believe that cruelty to animals should be a felony and punished as such. Those who mistreat animals and make them suffer get a real head start in what behavior they will demonstrate as adults against human beings.
