This is so heartbreaking. I cried. People can be so cruel. All this suffering just for some Ivory from tusks. But, thankfully these kind men did everything to help this beautiful animal. Thank you very much for saving the elephant.

We have 2 hands, 2 legs and brain.We can use our hands and can do anything, but must not this - for their tusks, hurting these beautiful animals. Lazy and heartless people for easy money. My heart is crying. Thank you very much for saving this beautiful one, many others too.

I dedicated my life to animals, and have spent over 30 years as a vet nurse, wildlife carer and rescuer in Australia. It never occurred to me, to go to Africa and spend my life trying to save these incredible animals. Now I’m over 50 and too old to embark on such a dream. I would happily live with the elephants, sleep with them in the stalls and rear the orphans 24/7 for years. Not just elephants but all other wild animals, exploited and hunted by evil humans. I’m the kind of person who would take a bullet, to save an animal from being killed. I have always been this way, it’s in my DNA. Along with that passion, comes such a deep empathy for them, that kills my heart and crushes my soul though, it’s horrific what humans do, and my tears flow just watching these kinds of videos. Bless every single human that does this kind of work, they are the true angels on this planet.
