The journey of MeBai and her Mother - ElephantNews

[@judyreenesinger1503]

Dear Lek, thank you for saving another life. Three and a half is a toddler in elephant years. I see how thin she is and how badly she missed her mother. God bless you for reuniting them.

[@katelynchester6690]

Other than humans, elephants have the longest juvenile of any animals, usually fifteen years. So three is incredibly young to take an elephant away from their mom.

[@luvlylady55]

im glad that she and her mother are back together..this thing of tearing babies from the moms..must stop..its cruelty at its hightest..people who do that must be stopped

[@miptsstpim3513]

We need to treat animals with respect and care instead putting them in captivity. Protect whales as well. This is a touching story and thank you for those who are dedicating for these animals. They have emotions and feelings as we do. Big cheers for the owners who gave them up for their freedom soon in wild. We all can be educated and change for the better.

[@ladyblackstardust390]

How wonderful for MeBai to be reunited with his mother, Mae Yui. I admire elephants so much for their intelligence and their social unity. Thank you, "Pamper a Pachyderm program" and Elephant Nature Park working together with this group of people to bring mother and son together. So happy. Others will know about this effort and will help the elephants. It's amazing the trekking camp released Mae Yui to the Elephant Nature Park. Thank you.

[@schradeya]

HOW AWESOME. Just a bunch of people walking through the jungle, taking an elephant home to her mommy. What a beautiful story!

[@sylviakalliski8464]

Thank you so very much for reuniting these incredible beautiful animals!

Am sooo Elated when these Gentle Giants the Elephants are rescued from Cruelty Continue this Job and Show the World how to.treat these Animals Everyone should REPORT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS ESPECIALLY IN ASIAN COUNTRIES AS WELL AS AFRICA PLEASE CONT8NUE THIS MARVELOUS RESCUES OF THE ELEOHANTS

[@robbie8142]

I have now watched 50 Elle videos and I am not sick of them yet. My attention span just isn't that good. What is it about Elephants, especially those wonderful small copies of Mumma. Please keep these videos coming. GO BABY GO!!! 🐘🐘🐘🤗🤗🤗

[@lavenderlady2520]

We could learn a lot from our gentle giants. All they want to do is love. They are smart, intelligent, and their unwavering love for their own is so amazing because as human we tend to think only humans have that capability. The organization is doing a marvelous job in understanding the elephants. Reuniting mom and child was awesome.

[@RareEbony]

Wonderful! Very touching!!

[@GianfrancoFronzi]

Good video , nothing but love . I've also noticed what a beautiful green countryside in the background . Deep valleys , impressive hillsides , with the lush jungle covering it .

[@Jefchang1]

WELL DONE YOU GUYS. ELEPHANTS ARE VERY SENTIENT BEINGS. WE SHOULD NEVER DO TO AN ELEPHANT WHAT WE WOULD NOT DO TO A CLOSE MEMBER OF OUR OWN HUMAN FAMILY. TREAT ELEPHANTS LIKE WE WOULD OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS THEN WE WILL UNDERSTAND THEM AND THEY WILL UNDERSTAND US. WE ARE ALL SENTIENT BEINGS.

[@NHohn]

Very touching re-union..

[@VEGASTRANDED]

Flapping ears cools them down but is also an expression of joy, and happiness. Lots of flapping going on here :)

[@TheThinkinGuy]

This is such an awesome video. Thanks so much to everyone who made it happen.

[@louisegallagher981]

Thank you 🙏 xxx

[@thaksalookmana6050]

Thanks for every volunteer from my heart. You help the poor elephant. Lek and her team too.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍

[@bachtran5533]

God bless you all 🐘🐘🐘❤️🙏

[@sunstarsmoon]

thank you thank you thank you this makes me so happy. I love elephants so much.

[@fredbarker9201]

It’s amazing that you help them Lek, but the sad truth is for every one elephant saved how many more are never freed from human scum. But I’m still very grateful for what you do, I WILL donate money into this field of work when I’m older.

[@christinamiller4598]

Soooo,happy to see mother and daughter

[@CERosensteel]

So sweet....good for the caretakers that reunited these beautiful animals. I hope they are treated well from now on, and can always be together.

[@macdale4741]

Wonderful to see this

[@DinaStrange]

Human mothers often describe their love to children as the most amazing, precious feeling - yet they willingly deny the same feelings to animals. But why - we came from the same cell, and maternal instinct is UNIVERSAL. Same as the sense of loss is universal, be it human or animal mother. This is the idea of Anthropocentrism, yet without animals there will be no humans, but without human - animals will be just fine.

[@cherylcooper1885]

4:09 - Baby gets to lay down again next to his momma while she grazes...just like the ole' days! Lovely!! :-)

[@bachtran6358]

God bless you wonderful people... Thank you Sooooooooo much.. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tananamee2324]

Thank you for your kindness, I must cried , it is warmly. From Bangkok Thailand

[@ThenegryZumba]

Love at its best from both the people who help so the reunion could happen an from the elefants when the see each other. . :) : ) Then you!!!

[@thomascaracash3339]

This is a heartwarming story. Take a minute to watch it.

[@samanthav8728]

This was such a lovely video and the story of the reunion is one I won’t soon forget! I can’t thank God enough for you Lek and ENP for each and every elephants lives you save and revive! You’re in my prayers everyday! I pray you never lack in joy, good health, funding for anything you need and even get all your wants and wishes! God bless YOU ALL GREATLY IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!

Lek God bless you X

[@katita86]

How to thank and award this magnificent job? and all the people, volunteers and communities made to reunite this family? God bless all of you. I'm sure you've earned heaven . Elephants as other animals are sweet and tender and deserve respect and happy moments, In the name of all the animal lovers in this world THANK YOU!

[@hermaharms]

This is sooo touching! I love it and it brought tears into my eyes

[@brando55-23]

Me too

[@infinitejest441]

Yay! Family reunion!🐘💟☮️

[@mapuanakupuna3471]

Aloha, pls. lower the volume of the back ground music down a lot or cut it out from the video altogether. It's what they are saying that's important in educating us, not the back ground music which detracts from the quality of the video & makes it hard to hear what Lek, is saying. Mahalo nui loa for the work that you all do & for helping to educate humanity. Aloha nui to all!

[@maryarellano352]

God bless this work and all who are involved

[@sasseewalker1430]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@756krishna]

Wow! Unbelievable! God bless those who helped in this reunion.

[@musicheartofkclj2215]

Live happy together forever my 2 loves! big kisses!

[@surferdudette19]

"The owners of Mae Yui were so touched they agreed to release her from captivity, too, so both elephants are being rehabilitated together at the new Karen Elephants Experience ... and eventually be returned to the wild. " +elephantnews Hope you keep us updated

[@tomjacobs4055]

beautiful and amuzing

[@MistressLeissa]

They are so sweet , so lucky, it makes me glad that this was somehow arranged. The awesome part is that Lek has offered an alternative for the elephant owners to earn a living to support the elephants as well as the families. In a natural and loving way of interaction, with positive reinforcement, instead of riding and doing tricks, the domestic Asian Elephant may somehow have a chance to stop suffering at the hands of the starving mahouts, and who knows maybe even repopulate the beautiful and lush jungles of Thailand. Pamper a pachyderm, is the perfect example of how it is possible. Hopefully other elephant centered tourist attractions will like it, and will see the success and follow suit. The mindset of tourists must be altered, so that the intelligent, majestic, giants, a symbol of Thailand can be treated with the love and respect they have earned in nearly four thousand years of domestication and servitude. Perhaps there is hope to recover from what is, now, very near, inevitable extinction. Ride a bike....love and feed an elephant! Let's make it a new tourist motto. A sincere and earnest THANK YOU to Lek for everything she has done and continues to do for elies. Yes dear lady....love is the way.

[@Redboy4]

It would have been nice to see the actual moment of reunion, or recognition, that the people kept referring to in this clip. Anyway, glad the little elephant is reunited with her mother.

[@shiboof]

Redboy4 THAT was the first meeting. It took them a few minutes. It HAS been three years apart. We all change physically. The baby seemed to realize it before her Mom. As the mother began to touch and smell the baby, the realization was there. Sorry, you wanted a DRAMATIC moment. Sometimes it does not happen that way.

[@Redboy4]

Actually I didn't want a DRAMATIC moment, but the speakers made it sound like there was a particular moment. Anyway, the clip is good and I'm happy they are reunited.

[@shiboof]

You are so right! The buildup was a bit more than we got, huh!

[@kikasbabenco]

You are great, wonderful work

[@tcmichigan8066]

That is so amazing. Does anyone know how the they are doing? That was so sweet and so awesome it made me cry happy tears. I am so happy to see mom and baby back together. Please let me know if they are still alive

[@SoSezTheDude]

I like the reunion, and the interviews with the folks that went on the trek with the elephant. Much respect for them to help out these amazing animals. But that being said, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism to the editors of the video. I personally think the pacing is terrible. Having the elephants already together with the narration for the first couple minutes, and then showing the trek to the meeting, just seems bizarrely backwards to me. Having the interview with the people as they travel with the young elephant builds up an excitement, and expectation that we will get to see the reunion itself. I thought they'd at least show the footage of the pair finally seeing each other again at the end of their journey, as a nice bookend to the piece. It really seems to me like the first 1:40 of the video should be cut from the beginning and put on the end. But hey, that's just, like, my opinion man.

[@DonutUnderpants]

SoSezTheDude Haha, true say.

[@gigkith]

SoSezTheDude agree. I was expecting to see the moment tthey first met.

[@sasseewalker1430]

+SoSezTheDude I certainly expected more since I have been in documentaries and everything is shown...maybe now with ur comment the next time they will show it all:)

[@GotAnUmbrella]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6TPhah7q9qXnLc They already have the reunion video

[@Nathaliaaa666]

this is amzing

[@hollyzassenhaus6032]

I so much appreciate the work you do with these amazing, my most favorite animal, the elephants! Thank you! But where was the video of them first meeting again after years apart? I really wanted to see that😥

[@nsmitty8055]

AAaaahh!!! 1:26, Mamma elephant, what are you DOING?!

[@TheJames1745]

nsmitty8055 Lol..I thought the same thing. I hope she's checking his diaper :)

[@shiboof]

nsmitty8055 Really? Just be quiet.

[@nsmitty8055]

shiboof You're no fun!

[@nin4033]

nsmitty8055 Some people...

[@phrakhrusriprechagornboony4611]

See the list of elephants in Thailand. The elephant is a gentle animal when it is with the mercy of humans, but if it falls to the heartless, elephants will be wild animals as well.

[@BackstageGabe]

I wish I had ears like a elephant

[@DonutUnderpants]

Backstage Gabe But then you couldn't go to concerts, sports events, et cetera.

[@tracymaries71]

Beautiful Video - Thank you for doing this and the Subtitles! Mall cop! :)-

[@dakao411]

Lek, you are my hero!

[@Velsbaby]

At least they made it right. Thank God! Leave the elephants alone!

[@ViralTuber]

I watched, but still 'missed' the supposedly joyous reunion the people kept clamoring about. The young elephant's name was "Clickbait", I assume.

[@2XTURBO]

the love of the elephant they are much better than human love? How did you come to that conclusion?

[@shiboof]

2XTURBO Probably because they are so forgiving. Unlike humans.

[@roxanasaucedo8623]

💕

[@lynnclark4208]

Wait, did I misunderstand.....we're they only brought together for just a brief time?

[@alexbrown9731]

They were separated to work in elephant riding industry...and who provides demand to this industry? That's right...ordinary tourists who think they are having the time of their lives.

[@monicaieong06]

tear

[@dearnapst]

It's amazing to watch, but you want to mute that commentator's voice

[@wandaburgess9400]

Does anyone know where I can find the video of the actual reunion??

[@robbie8142]

I was wondering that same thing.

[@BedtimeStory87]

aaaah so glad to see the millenials trying to "save" the world

[@spiritedguy2]

Have no idea why this video doc centered around the farang visitors. A letdown and misplaced focal point. Reading the story of these elephants it seems the humans that made a difference were the mahouts that surrendered the elephants.

[@shiboof]

Gordon Scott They are ALL part of this story, good grief. Just do not comment since you are too thick to appreciate what has happened here. This took MONTHS. MONTHS of talking, cajoling and working toward getting them back together. HAve some respect.

[@AlvaroJH1988]

Why let them live when you could hunt them with an mg 42 and have some precious ivory decorating my livin room?

[@teressa7666]

If they release them to the wild, what's to stop them from being killed. So sad what happens to elephants. :'(

[@shiboof]

S Soutache ENP realizes this and is working to buy land for all of their own elephants to be free. They will be protected but living on their own. It is a long term, futuristic and incredible plan. And it is working.

[@shiboof]

Of course you are correct, Maddie. But allowing them forest and relative freedom is the best than can be done in their situation if they wish to protect them.

[@idlewild]
