We’ve got a long history that proves the fact that trespassing in the wildlife has been in our nature from the very day we felt superior. However, the Earth is a mysterious planet where the biggest species are the quietest and the tiniest insects could end up taking your life just by a sting! The bigger the prey the better the hunter. Whales for their fat, elephants for their tusks, tigers for their hide, giraffes for their tails, snakes for their venom & skin!

“Nature’s great masterpiece, an elephant, the only harmless great thing, the giant,” are the words of John Donne, one of the greatest poets of English Literature gives a clear picture of these innocent beasts. This story is a disclosure for all those who think of animals as a source of profit and nothing more. Watch the video and you’ll know how sensitive wildlife animals are and they too deserve to be treated with generosity and respect.

Most of you have seen elephants for the first time in circuses or zoos and I remember the first time I saw elephants, they did not seem too happy to look at me, two huge elephants, tied outside a circus, trumpeting and moving aggressively trying to get unchained on one stormy night, scared the hell out me as a child. But now thinking of them, I realize, that night, they were more scared of the weather, than I was of them. Elephants, who are said to sense rain from 150 miles away, were left in an open playground when lightning struck every now and then, they were just trying to save themselves and get into some safer place! This event is from their perspective just as the video soon will show their true emotions!

Since Childhood

Elephants can show supremacy but despite their size, they tend to flee from fights and sights of danger. If the grown-ups are so timid then you can fathom how docile and submissive their calves could be. All they love is to be close to their mother all the time and around their aunts from the group and other same age friends.

 I don’t like elephants. So strong and so obedient.. Charlie Chaplin is justified to  have misunderstood the theory of bringing up these gentle beasts, like most of us, as we see what they’ve become and ignored the ‘how?’ A baby elephant is kept in isolation, chained, abused with the bullhook at their weak parts where the skin is soft, for months before they give in for a dull and inferior life. Many giants take their last breath in decades-long captivity but the story of Sook Jai, a Thai elephant we have for you is wholly different.
