Muaylek walks to freedom through the rain towards the sanctuary of elephant nature park

Save Elephant Foundation Rescue – MuayLek

This is MuayLek, a female elephant who is only seven years old. MuayLek worked to entertain in an elephant show. She was a regular star of the camp. Her main work was to perform for tourists. She was trained to paint, to perform with a Hula Hoop, and to stand on 2 legs while dancing. MuayLek remained tethered and dealt with so much stress. All baby elephants deserve the right to play freely, but she never had that chance. Instead, MuayLek developed typical stress behaviour.

Save Elephant Foundation rescue of Chu Jai

Save Elephant Foundation rescue of Chu Jai

Chu Jai worked as a trekking elephant all of her life, even with a hip injury which affects her walk. We have taken her away from all of that. It took 19 hours on a truck to finally be free. A harmful past is now behind her. Thanks to the team who brought her to us safely, and especially to those who provided the funds sufficient to give Chu Jai a new life at Elephant Nature Park.
