The journey of elephant Mae Bua Jaan and her baby Zuki to reunion with their herd

[@orangepurple8546]

Lek is a saint! Elephants are such intelligent, majestic creatures!! All the elephants are babies...helpless at the hands of evil people who abuse them for gain and entertainment, dependent on kind souls who rescue them and give them a good life.... thank you Lek and all the workers who love and care for these amazing sweet Elephants!😍

[@bogdang.7627]

This woman is a true angelic spirit for elephants. My great respect !. Someone in Europe

[@avrilcrisp30]

The trauma to mother and baby is immense. To know your baby is being abused right next to you, to hear their cries and be unable to intervene and save them is so sad. Thank heaven that Lek has such a vision and works tirelessly to save these elephants from further abuse.

[@MRKRG9]

Who ever gave this video thumbs down is an absolute idiot... On the positive side, LEK!!! Thank the Lord you are on this earth, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ENP!!!

[@sifragnhildardottir4498]

Please Sir. Don't judge people too quickly. Thumbs down can also mean the torture baby Zuki had to endure.

[@ganeshkrishnan3191]

Man... Your comments gave me a goosebumps

[@animalanni1]

Praying that Zuki is okay and that the love and compassion that will be shown to him now will heal his broken spirit. Thank you, Lek, Darrick, and all who made this possible!

[@debbie7526]

Lek has the Save Elephant Foundation so I support it to help her save & care for the elephants.🐘

[@ckzf1842]

Yes , I support her work too !

[@elf885]

God bless the animals and good people who love, save and care them 👏 😘🐘♥🍀🙏

[@MRKRG9]

PLEASE, PLEASE keep us updated weekly on baby's progress, we are all concerned World Wide!!

[@deelb9462]

I am an old woman now. But, if I had my life to do all over, this is where I would spend my life.....helping as many elephants as I could.

[@cewing2301]

this poor baby...so sorry zuki....so very sorry

[@astrofel5]

I am just so dissappointed in the human race when hearing how wild animals are being treated, thankfully there are people like Lek who really work so hard to change the situation for these animals.

[@mimileggett7154]

Thank you Lek for all you do to save elephants! Very sorry to hear about Zuki. Why can't this horribly cruel PHAJAAN Torture "training" be abolished and outlawed by the Govt.of Thailand, or are they still living in the medieval ages?

[@Globally1201]

IVE LEARNED SOOO MUCH ABOUT ALL ELEPHANTS!!!...THEY ARE SUCH TOUCHY-FEELY!!! VERY SOCIAL & CLOSER THAN MOST ANIMALS WITHIN THEIR HERD!!!💜😍🐘🐘🐘🙋☺🙏👍🇺🇸

[@cacatr4495]

For unknowledgeable readers and viewers: When Lek says "training" in the context of elephants, she is talking about PHAJAAN, which is Torture Training, also called The Crush, when Men force a baby elephant for a whole week, through torture, continuous 24/7 stabbing with the sharp steel Bullhook, beating the baby elephant with rods and knives, causing such severe injuries that PHAJAAN kills HALF of ALL captive Asian elephant calves. Clearly, this baby elephant boy, just a toddler who should still be nursing from his mom, has been severely injured from the torture, to the point where we hope his leg will be restored to walk normally, so he isn't injured for life. PHAJAAN, Torture training, made to crush the elephant's Will for a lifetime of enslaved labor to Man, because it kills HALF of ALL captive Asian elephant babies, is one reason why the Asian elephant is estimated to become extinct in Asia. Pregnancy takes 22 months, and the kill rate of elephants is far greater than their birth rate. At this rate. not only endangered in the Asian wild and made by poachers soon extinct, the captive elephant population is too, because Man kills them faster than they can reproduce. Torture-training is an ATROCITY against Life, and an abomination against the God that designed the loving elephants. God forbid that Evil Man be able to have his way in destroying the elephants and the earth. I pray that this baby boy elephant will be fully restored, in body and emotions, and grow into a very strong bull who is protected by God his whole life long, most especially protected from Man.

[@friedchickenridebarton1567]

CA Catr as hard as it was to read your words without anguish I am grateful you took the time to educate us re the "training" I had no idea they were so horrifically abused

[@SarumanDeWhite]

Thank you for sharing. Humans... good and bad exist. Damn.

[@charlie1914]

May God punish and kill all evil people soon.

[@deenibeeniable]

Once in awhile I will accidentally see a single image from the pajaan process in the intro to some video & can't get away fast enough. Yet the images are burned into my brain in an instant. I'm sure Lek has seen this up close & personal, like people who do undercover video for Peta have seen similar atrocities among circus animals. I have great respect for people who can see this knowing that bringing it to light may have a positive effect in stopping it. I could not do it. I simply could not do it. Forty years ago I was sent a mailing by a lab-animal rescue organization, & the picture they put on the envelope is still in my mind, I think of it every time I get something in the mail from one of those organizations. I've had to tell them Please, don't send this stuff to me. I'm happy to donate but I cannot abide those images. It's so horrible I don't even have any words. The people who do this..I can't understand it, will never understand it.

[@GrippiAlex]

deenibeeniable I feel the same way as you. I’m happy to donate when help is needed but the images are too much for me. Like yourself, I was sent photos from Asia of beautiful creatures (dogs) being tortured and barbecued whilst alive. I didn’t eat for several days and still have nightmares today. I know this dreadful evil exists and must be destroyed but these days images burn my retinas and can’t be forgotten. Hope this finds you well,i just realised your comment is months old💕🇦🇺

[@debbie7526]

Rest now Zuki. We will miss you baby.💖 🐘🕊

[@michele21auntiem]

Did he die? I havent been able to find out.

[@lauradent5420]

This was a beautiful video. Elephants are my favorite....so incredibly smart, so soulful. And to see such an amazing example of that social connection they have was just wonderful. Thank you for all you do. It's obvious you care deeply for them.

[@kkendell954]

Nobel prize for Lek ❤

[@Mandinko23]

human beings are very interesting creatures, how can anyone have a heart to harm a baby whether its human or animal babies. elephants babies are almost like human babies so innocent, pure, playful and just sweet, they have extreme emotional capacity they stick together like family and they mourn their dead. can you imagine how helpless the mother must have felt when those demons were forcing baby zuki to train. why don't they grow a crop and do something honorable rather than abuse innocent and helpless animals. people who harm animals are not humans they are demons.

[@cacatr4495]

So true. Thank you for expressing it so well.

[@shorbafrik3005]

💖💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏

[@Doriesep6622]

And it is hard to get people to understand how an elephant in a circus was trained. They refuse to believe it. they thing they are trained like dogs with treats. I was protesting outside a circus, trying to hand out literature, and people refused to take it. One guy said, they would not be abusing an animal that is their source of income and threw the pamphlet away, even with a picture on it. Such willful ignorance.

[@rfresa]

I think there is a cycle of abuse. The Mahouts are also raised to abuse elephants from a young age and this could be considered part of their culture. Lek is showing them a better way, and some are starting to listen.

[@ellegirl7857]

God bless you! Thank you so much for rescuing these highly spiritual and intelligent and Loving Creatures. I just cry to think humans do these awful treatment to animals. God bless you all!

[@cacatr4495]

To ENP, Please keep us updated on how he's doing with all his injuries and his leg. It's very concerning. Please let us know that he survives these serious Man-caused injuries. Please also tell us that his traumatized emotional heart recovers from the severe abuse. Tell us when joy and confidence returns to him. Thank you, please, for taking care of our friends the elephants as best as you can. We love them and you, very much. Thank you!! Bless you!! - hugs.

[@bachtran6358]

LORD JESUS!!!... THESE SAD STORIES OF ABUSED AND NEGLECTED GENTLE GIANTS IS HEARTBREAKING!!!...AND HEARTWARMING BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RESCUED FROM THE HANDS OF CRUEL, GREEDY, SELFISH HUMANS!!! 😍💜🐘🐘🐘🙋☺🙏➕👍🇺🇸

[@greenyoshigamergamingvlogs5197]

Thank you and Thank God that they are with you! These and other animals are not here for our enjoyment or slave employment!!!!....They are here to enrich our lives by their presence....that's it!!! ...low- life people need to leave these majestic creatures the fuck alone!!!!!!

[@marlenalinne6100]

In his present condition, Zuki would never survive his "training" in the crush at the hands of a cruel mahout.

[@greenlife8135]

Why Thai government allow this cruel activity called "pajaan" ??? Why can't they give severe penalty for those stupid heartless people..

[@seescafedeu]

Lek says the baby went through "some training". Lek, i suggest u to speak clear and say "the baby, as all other elephants went throught a lot of torture." TORTURE! MISERY AGONY SUFFERING.

[@Braveheart.22]

If you love animals tjen don't eat them.🐂

[@maryedelguzman2874]

Zuki is now resting in peace. He died of EEHV in December 2017.

[@shorbafrik3005]

Mary Edel Guzman zuki is dead?? Because torture training? So sad. What meins eehv?

[@maryedelguzman2874]

Shorba Frik Elephant Herpes Virus I think the torture at a very young age weakened his immunity.

[@maryedelguzman2874]

carol mckeowen No. Other ellie like Navaan who were tested positive for EEHV were immediately treated. It was unfortunate for Zuki that the EEHV was not immediately detected until he showed symptoms and died within three days. Sad. This is why I decided to donate to EEHV prevention instead of sponsoring an elepahnt.

[@debbie7526]

Mary Edel Guzman Me too. I support the EEHV treatment & the rescue & care of the 🐘s

[@monaakemi8451]

How áre zuki and the Mother now? How long did it take Zuki to get rid of the traumas? Found only 3 videos which were 5 years old. Is it possible to ask a update video explaining zukis progress until now.

[@ЛюдмилаКоваль-е8с]

Zuki died in Jan. of 2018.

[@monaakemi8451]

So Sad. R. I. P Zuki

[@deenibeeniable]

The people who do the phajaan...what kind of people are these? How can they do such things? What kind of heartless soulless empty shell of a human can listen to an animal screaming & continue on with the torture? I will never ever understand this if I live to be a thousand years old.

[@deenibeeniable]

@Voracious Reader oh fucking please. Now you're going to tell me calling out horrific abuse is racist or ethnocentric?? Fuck off. Abuse is ABUSE no matter where it's happening & no matter how much of a postmodern relativistic stupor you're in, you sniveling twat.

Why do the elephants smell each other's rectum by the tail...why do they touch each other that part of the body?
