Elephant Calmly Asks For Help After Living With Infected Bullet Lodged In Skull

This elephant was is so much pain; he walked right up to doctors to ask for first aid. Named Pretty Boy, this targeted elephant was shot in the head. The elephant was then tranquilized and given an x ray which showed a deformed bullet in his skull.
Vets believe Pretty Boy was hit centimeters too high for what's called a 'kill shot' by a hunter. The elephant had surgery where doctors removed the bullet. #InsideEdition

i want to think that after he was shot, the poacher was like " wtf you ain t dead ", and then prety boy stomped him to death

That's some remarkable intelligence to distinguish between "this group of humans put the bullet in" and "this other group will take it out."

[iamami]

Even after he has been shot by human, he still calmly asked human for help

[jaypay]

poor thing he was smart to approach for help. he must have been desperate.

Elephant : “Human problems require human solutions”

[andilesibanda]

This is not okay
It's a sweet creature
He didn't deserve it

The “Even though a elephant never forgets, let hope this one does.” Makes it sound like she did it.

[tarpz]

His pain was so bad he was willing to risk his life. I'm glad he took the chance.

[Soupcubee]

The courage to walk back to the same species that put him in that world of pain

[oogaboogashooga]

He is a “pretty boy” and I hope he’s still living and doing well

[simonnachreiner]

Quite surprised how calmly that elephant was moving despite the mind numbing pain it had to be in. Normally an animal in pain is at its most dangerous.

“This elephant was shot in the head.” And the mad lad walked it off and went to go get surgery

[dheerajhejamady]

Even the elephant knows not to judge a community by the actions of the few.

This make me so angry imagine how much pain the poor boy was in. 😭😭😢

[vally]

I’d let that elephant have 30 minutes with the person who shot it.

[thethhorseman]

he was shot by a human, and still didn’t believe all humans were the same

Isn't the world just a depressing place sometimes!

[Blueskies_]

God bless those people for caring in this cruel world.

As people, we disagree with one another on politics, religion and sports but we all agree that poachers suck.
