The Story of How HERD Elephant Orphanage Came To Be

[@bari2883]

The way She speaks to the Elephants tells me all I need to know about her love for them. Every Elephant needs elephants.💗

[@sheilagadde5975]

Adine, I am so proud to come to know you and your work with DEVOTION.

[@saramertl94]

Adine is my ideal for a right and good life.❤⚘

[@markflores40]

She is a wonderful woman. We are blessed to have her. Very caring person. God Bless.

Adine, I just found this video today. Your presentation is fantastic and informative. I’m one of your early followers of Khanyisa. She was so small and terribly injured. I cried and smiled everyday. As you rescued Khanyisa, she rescued me. As I sat home confined due to covid - I became depressed and lonely. Then HERD came into my life via KZbin. The first HERD story was about Jabulani and his broken leg. Then videos of Khanyisa started showing up on KZbin. Khanyisa’s fight for life and Adine’s daily video helped me. She was raising awareness and asking for foster parents. I quickly became a foster parent and frequent donor towards Jabulani. I’m still a foster mother to Khanyisa and HERD. As well as, five starving Asian Elephants in Thailand (Gentle Giants Foundation.). -Skeens Family 🇺🇸

Thank you for the wonderful comment - and for being such a passionate follower. We appreciate you too, very much.

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

Where else can we see humans and elephants interact completely naturally together in the wild than HERD. Thank you Adine and HERD team for all you do. Phabeni and Khanyisa are alive and well today because of HERD rescue. It takes 8 years to get the babies to adulthood. HERD is doing fundraising for a solar panel grid setup so they can get off reliance on South Africa electricity grid. Lammie is a legend.

The people of H.E.R.D. are simply awesome. Their work and their love and care for Khanyisa and the Jabulani herd is very emotive and inspirational.

[@zildadefatimapereiralima1800]

Sempre linda e maravilhosa a protetora dos elefantes 😍😘🐘❤️❤️

[@mortalclown3812]

Seeing on Easter 2024. Lovely to hear Adine tell the longer version of HERD's beginning. Blessings to everyone who helps all endangered animals and especially the elephant herds. ❤

[@raider7829]

Yes. I also enjoyed all this fresh info.

[@loishart7791]

Amazing presentation Thank you Adine..💖🐘💖

[@gr8fuldeb699]

Thank you for sharing Adines video. I love the herd channel.

[@gr8fuldeb699]

Hearing how the rescued herd from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 lost their land is so sad and disturbing.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you so much to all for the wonderful feedback and engagement! We are thankful for your wonderful passion and support for the cause. 💚

[@kimmiek0]

can you please explain what happened, I didn't understand why and how Tokwa Sotombe the first 5 or 6 big elephants came together and I think I recall you saying a farm closed? so they were in danger of being without a home? and the elephants each had their own human that came with them to the Jabulani HERD? I'm confused about where those elephant came from. where they working elephants that were forced to give rides or clear bush lands? was this a blessing in disguise that the farm closed down so they could live more like wild elephants? or were they already as free as they are at Jabulani?

[@kimmiek0]

also are Tigere, Godknows, and the other carers the original humans that were with the adult elephants?

[@Helen3691]

Thank you Adine and thank you to all the carers for serving these amazing creatures. Happy New Year! 🎆

Adine, you and your carers are Amazing. I watch every day. I love you all. ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@irenemarlor4583]

You all do a great job with the elephants , I didn't know about rhinos. Those poachers just don't care what damage they created. All the best from South Australia

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie2]

I've been following H.E.R.D. since shortly after they rescued the little, pink albino elephant Khanyisa. The story of the Jabulani herd is absolutely astonishing, and you begin to realize these are sentient, compassionate, and very intelligent creatures. The care they receive from the people there is remarkable and demonstrated by their success. They certainly deserve the financial support of anyone who can afford to do so. They have their own KZbin channel and post daily videos: kzbin.info

[@renee1503]

Thank you All at HERD who help, care and Love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@yvonnebanks7411]

Thank you Adine for all you do. I would love to come visit one day. I've been watching since Khanyisa was bought in.

[@geraldrobinson6518]

What a priviledge to see the background of the Woman of the Year 2020 Thanks Adine for sharing your calves & Herd with the Khanyisa Fans. I must have watched over 200 videos during the period from 4/2020 Always a delightful serene time & we suggest everyone who enjoyed this should tune into Utube almost daily to keep their enthusiasm for HERD's works alive....Lyn Robinson & Gerald

[@lindawilliams2211]

Love you Adine and all the carers. Of course all our big babies. Thank you all. 😊

[@bettyderoo5984]

You did well Adine, you let us al see what you and all at HERD do, to preserve wildlife and in de same time raise orphans who become members of a great herd. This is you're life work. 💋❤

[@userRobn.1962]

so humble such respect for all you are doing, Lamie is like the drummer of the show keeping things together, and Adine makes me laugh bless you

[@francesfarmer736]

I guess I missed this …..I’m on The Herd channel everyday…..Adine & carrers do a wonderful job with these elephants and baby elephant Khanyisa ……….love the videos!

[@tracywatts1459]

I breed. Purebred labs. I’ve had to bottle fed a litter at a cost of $35 a day. I can not imagine what it would cost to bottle feed a baby elephant.

[@marpro765]

Today is December 15, 2021. This is the first time I've seen this video. Thank you so much for rerunning it.

[@mrstukutela5126]

I have been an avid watcher since around April 2021. It is so interesting to hear the individual stories of some of these ellies. I just donate as and when I can, but watching these videos is one of my favourite pastimes. Thank you, Adine and all the carers for being so dedicated to these splendid animals.

[@slomo1716]

Good Morning BEAUTIFUL ADINE!!!!!

[@studentofabrahamiamavibrat3615]

I adore her ~ Just saw a video of her at Spottie's age helping to care for a baby Limpopo! Had no idea she started being a nanny that young. ❤

[@chrisg.7681]

Just viewing this today, 12/11/21, I was unaware of this interview prior to now. This is so great! Thank you Adine! Well done presentation and overview of your awesome HERD program, about which I have been familiar with and a supporter of since the spring of 2020, shortly after the arrival of Khanyisa. You, yourself, are an ‘allmother’ to all the elles in the Jabulani herd! Your work and efforts are invaluable! ❤️✌️🙏🏻

[@dcmc7383]

This is such great coverage of HERD and baby K. Adine is correct...Khanyisa was a large part of my very isolated days during COVID. I care for a sick sister (metastatic cancer) so I still isolate so I don't bring illness into her world. It makes for a very cloistered and lonely existence sometimes. Khanyisa was so damaged when she was rescued so her spirit and recovery is a major inspiration to me. I look forward to those update videos soooo much. I send a little money to HERD and a little money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. We need to care for all the babies.

[@vblackwell3347]

@@dcmc7383 I so hope your entire situation is improving. You're carrying quite a burden now. My thoughts wlll be w/ you & I'll look for your posts here, hopefully w/ good news, in the future. Best wishes.

Thanks for the conversation with Aedin. I understand the story of HERD even more from your channel. I love watching youTube HERD channel too.

[@laurariley308]

So glad I found this vlog…it is a bit old but not really in elephant years. I have a lot of respect for your research and endeavors. The Careers have my most respect. A lot of change and sorrows have passed. I admire how all has been handled. I’m still trying to recognize them in the vlogs and appreciate that they are constantly named by carriers and vlog editors. Just yesterday saw a python in the bush. Very cool and makes the elephant who I think was bothered by it a super detective within the herd. Thanks all!

[@emmaorense2200]

Hello po thank you for being kind ,you people are bless by god because elephant is inocent they don't understand the good and the bad especially the elephant live in the forest they not feel to love , many people want to hurt them,they especial a giant and amazing,not all country have that giant elephant, god choose their country to put that elephant because they have many grass and food if they know to video the elephant I'm sure they earn money and they become happy and they protect the elephant,like me I always watch the video because I want to learn many thing to the elephant,god bless to all of you kind people,

[@patmcadams4824]

I have been wondering about how the Jabulani herd got started so imagine my delight when I found this video. It was excellently done and so informative. Thank you so much for all the hard work you all do and for capturing it on video for us.

[@marpro765]

Adine. The laws must be changed. Hunting, snaring, mutilation, poaching must be completely prohibited and the consequences for violating these laws must be severe - punishable by death. Any other despicable behavior such as deliberate cruelty, abuse, using the animals as a form of entertainment, torture, malnourishment, etc., must be punishable by permanent imprisonment. A full scale educational program must be developed and implemented for the entire human population.

[@vblackwell3347]

Punishable by death? I understand your revulsion bur that would make no better than they.

[@tracywatts1459]

I wish I was at this live. I would of asked her why she keeps all the females on birth control. My guess is cost of more care or male aggression ? I follow herd from Canada. I seen an episode where she said the herd is under birth control. I would love to see more babies. Can’t get enough of them . But I also know how much other herds even in wild love having their babies too.
