I can only say thank you to Wildlife SOS because if it wasn’t for them, Nina would still be in the streets begging, she is now home. She will be safe and live a life she deserves - happy and free.♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘♥️🐘‼️
So very sad why doesn’t India do something to stop this cruel treatment I am crying for these precious precious babies God bless you for getting her away from her evil humans this is why I donate to this foundation
I was in tears when they said this poor gentle giant was blinded on purpose !! THAT takes torture too a whole new level !! This is another HORRIFIC story of all these horrible abused Elephants !! Elephants were NOT put here for humans too ride !! They were NOT put here too beg for humans !! They weren’t put here to be targets of Trophy Hunters !! It infuriates me too see these majestic gentle creatures tortured so badly by HUMANS !! I’m so thankful that I can donate too WILDLIFE SOS, too help these beautiful Soles…🐘💔🐘💔🥺😰
That's tough to even comprehend, isn't it? About 25% of the elephants in our care are blind. Here's info about how we care for them: wildlifesos.org/elephant/caring-for-blind-elephants-at-wildlife-sos/
Heavenly Father, thank you for receiving Nina your precious elephant child into your tenderly loving kind arms. I pray that you would take her away all her unspeakable pain and sufferings and fill her beautiful heart with the glory of your everlasting divine love and eternal peace. God bless you Nina for evermore.
It is wonderful that Nina is finally being taken care of with good people. She deserves the best treatment possible for all the decades that she has spent relentlessly giving her services to humans.
Humans are. The Only MONSTERS that exist. I'm so happy Nina is free from being thought of and treated as a object. But, we have to make Every SENTIENT BEING Free💚. My Love and absolute Best wishes for you Nina✨ Love from Florida, USA
I couldn’t have said it better myself. EVERYTHING, and I MEAN EVERYTHING WE TOUCH WE DESTROY! The more we destroy, the more we are killing ourselves - in EVERY WAY that we possibly can. With MANY , or rather BILLIONS of us standing up together, MAYBE THEN WE can make the changes BEFORE it’s TOO LATE for the rest.
Thank you wildlife SOS for the rescue and loving care showered on Nina. My fellow Indians....I appeal to you. Don't give any money to begging elephants. If they they do not receive money....the begging will stop.
Thank you! Yes, the money goes to a wealthy elephant owner, and the elephant is deprived of proper care and nutrition. Here is info about recognizing an elephant in distress and how to report it: wildlifesos.org/conservation-awarness/how-to-identify-an-elephant-in-distress/
@@TeddyBear-ii4ycSadly the money isn’t going toward caring for the elephant. A lot of these begging elephants are starving and neglected medical care. The owner doesn’t care about them as a pet.
@@HippieIzzy4206 That's my point... these less the owner gets the less care goes towards the elephant. If the owner & family are hungry, you can be sure the elephant is hungrier! 😕
Thank you wildlife sos for rescueing and taking care of elephants like Nina. World is changing for humans but unfortunately nobody cares about these animals, not even Govt. waiting for govt to bring strict law and rescue all captive animals 🥺😞🙏🙏🙏🐺🐩🐕🐈⬛🦮
There are so many moments that I really have to hold back and not let myself feel strong negative emotions for cruel heartless humans and I shudder to think how much worse the world would be without compassionate and caring people.
It's incredibly heartbreaking what these beautiful magnificent creatures endure at the hands of humans that don't care about their health or welfare. Thank God she is in good hands and getting love, care and companionship that she deserves. Praying for the rest of the elephants in captivity to get rescued.
All of you do so much wonderful work to help Nina and all of the elephants that you rescue . I hope that soon all of the chains will be removed from all of the elephants on the streets of India , and that they will be free to live as elephants should . 🐘🐘❤❤
I had known a bit about Nina, but my husband hadn't. I am much more involved in animal advocacy. But after learning about her at your event in L.A. my husband was astounded at the realities of the lives of these beautiful beings. I watched as he immediately made a donation to Wildlife SOS and although it's painful and heartbreaking to know of this abuse, we must continue to support you and other rescue organizations. You are making a huge difference and saving precious lives. Thank you! Thank you! You are beyond amazing!
Patricia, it was so good to meet you in Los Angeles last week! This is the same film you got to see a sneak peek ... the first group to see it. You can watch it again from home, knowing Nina is in good hands. ♥
@@WildlifeSOS It was a true honor to meet you and I know that all the babies in your care are in the best hands possible. I will always support you and Wildlife SOS!! Much gratitude!
This treatment of elephants enrages me to no end. It's heart-breaking and needs to be outlawed!!!! How can a government let this happen!! Thank god there are people to help like Wildlife SOS.
I want to thank everyone who saved Nina and who is trying to improve her life and mobility everyday since she was rescued you should be proud of yourself for everything you are doing for the the animals you can save ❤🎉
May laws be put in place to stop animal abuse and allow elephants and all animals to live and thrive in the wild. It is organizations like Wildlife SOS that make a difference and get the word out to help animals like Nina. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤
Ohh Nina, The tears flowed as I watched how you suffered for sooo many years 😓 Thinking of your eyes being poked out in your youth and then seeing how the spiked ankle cuff dug into your leg, brought me physical pain. Then tears of pure joy flowed as I saw you walking with out chains for the first time, eating a feast of lavis fruits and then laying down to take a nap, no longer suffering, now free form the mental and physical pain. I will keep you in my heart and pray for you each day. Your free now my friend, free 💗
It is so sad what we do to these magnificent gentle giants. Thankyou for your help and kindness for Nina. I hope she lives many more years in her paradise
DEAR EVERYONE AT WILDLIFE SOS, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE ELEPHANTS. I LOVE NINA. I LOVE INDIA. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE HELPING ANIMALS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. IT WOULD BE AN INDESCRIBABLE PRIVILEGE AND AN INDESCRIBABLE HONOR. I FEEL LIKE CRYING WITH SADNESS. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE HELPING ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL ELEPHANTS IN INDIA. 🙏 SINCERELY PETER
Is beyond heartbreaking what all innocent animals in the hands of those people who just don't care about them. But i thank God they are finally enjoying their precious life❤❤❤❤❤❤God bless you guys and i pray that God continue to give you strength health and give you favor to continue to rescue all these beautiful innocent animals wherever they desperate need help❤❤❤❤
When I at times complain when things are not working thevway I want them to , this story made me reflect on how small my sorrows were in comparison to the sufferings endured all through her life ? An eye opener of a story, a story where there is still a little hope at the end .
Sweet Nina, I cry so much for you, is just heartbreaking to know what you endured for so long. I don't understand how this goes on!!!!! Evil humans! 🙏🙏 For you sweetheart ❤️
Omg, my heart truly almost can’t take it! I’ve had such a love for elephants and it just hurts me in so many more ways than I can explain that there poor babes even actually go through this and be treated them awful, cruel, unacceptable things. Always one of your biggest supporters Nina, beautiful girl! I honestly hope I can meet and give you lots and lots of love sweet girl! 💖💖 Her and every single one of them deserve so much better and I’m so glad that she’s finally free and at peace 🥹
I remember 40 years ago putting my 5y/o on a elephant for a ride. While watching I saw how tired the elephant was & sad looking. I then realized how abusive elephant rides were. I never did it again. I have since worked to stop the use of the elephants in circuses and zoo's. The work never stops and the abuse continues. We all must do what we can.
With all the colorful decorations and wonder of seeing an elephant up close, people can be easily misled. That's why we share films like this. People need to know the truth.
I will become a monthly donator - this work is priceless ! This story is simply heartbreaking and haunting and there are not enough words to thank you for trying to educate people
Thank you so much for sending me this info! It brought tears to my eyes! I was a Wildlife SOS Donor for a few years but had to stop my monthly donations due to my financial situation! I donate in my country to a few causes already & adopted an OrangUtan baby in Sumatra! But I did put you in my testament ( my will) at my Notary's! I hope I will have gathered more than enough money to leave behind to a few causes closest to my heart, of which your elephants in Agra are one! I deeply admire you for what you do & every time I watch a video of one of your rescued elephants it brings tears of JOY to my eyes! Bless you for all you do & your tireless devotion to these most stunning creatures on Mother Earth who are so ill-treated & abused by us humans! THANK YOU!🙏🖤🐘🌿🕊🫒🌍☀🌟🌜
Thank you, Denise! Our legacy donors are so important. We're one of the few organizations that directly cares for so many animals in India, and it's a big responsibility.
Rest in peace, Nina. Fortunately you were taken to the sanctuary for elephants. Your last years were excellent. Now you're an angel. Lord Ganesha: I beg you to bless Wildlife SOS
The animal world needs people like the Wildlife SOS team. Nina's story, and the stories of all your other elephants, is heartbreaking to say the least. But I envy your team for experiencing the healing of a sick and almost destroyed elephant as it must be one of the most satisfying and cheerful feelings in the world. To know it was YOUR touch, YOUR care, YOUR feeding, YOUR giving of freedom that breathed new life into an abused body that has no voice for us to understand is a kind of job fulfilment that is second to none. You guys are so lucky and so are your elephants. Love you all!
So happy to see her being relieved from the slavery. Indian rules should be more strict and wild elephants should never be allowed to be captured and then forced to work.
India has some very good laws, but they're challenging to enforce. Human/elephant conflict is a big problem, too. Laws protecting elephants - wildlifesos.org/elephant/indian-laws-protecting-elephants/
The monsters who did this to Nina should suffer the same horrible abuse they inflicted on this poor elephant!! R.I.P. sweet Nina, we all cry for losing you. But at least she experienced some love and happiness when her rescuers finally found her before her passing. Rest easy dear Nina. 😢
This will be so hard to watch, I am always saddened with any animal abuse, am thankful for organizations and individuals trying to help. I am a monthly donor and also get a company match and am happy to help however I can to Wildlife SOS. Such good work you all do.
Thank you to this compassionate organization that continues to support India's elephants and wildlife population. I have been donating and will continue to do so in the hope that changes are coming.
God bless you! It is terrible that elephants are still being tortured in this way, when science is only just beginning to discover how very intelligent and empathetic elephants are - and how like dolphins and whales, they may have developed the rudiments of language to communicate with each other.
I must say thank you to the people that saved her and I pray that all other animals are found and freed from these evil people. I pray in Jesus name that they are rescued and go on to live their very best life possible. 🌈🙏❤️🕊🙏❤️
Thank God Nina is now at a Sanctuary being cared for lovingly --- it's high time for all ELEPHANTS to be transferred to Sanctuary -- God intended for Elephants to live happy, healthy lives with Family and Community -- Elephants MUST NEVER be abused, exploited -- PUNISH those Humans who abuse & kill Elephants by jailing them without release.
Thank you, Suzanne. We thought it was important for people to see this. Behind all the colorful decorations is a poor abused elephant like Nina. She's in good hands now.
I was so heartbroken and furious at the same time while watching this video. Nina’s story deeply tugged at my heartstrings; at the same time my blood was boiling at the extremely horrible cruelty done by those people to Nina, and most probably to other elephants as well. I couldn’t thank you enough for ending Nina’s seriously tormented life and giving her the life she deserves.
I share your feelings. I will NEVER accept nor forgive people who inflict such horrors on these beautiful sweet animals, any animal. It's totally unforgivable!!! 😡😡😡😭🙏❤️🐘
Thank you so much to Wildlife SOS for giving Nina, and others, the care, love and freedom that they deserve. 💕👏 I'm always happy to be a supporter of this wonderful organisation. Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
Thank you for this really important video. What baffles me is how people can be so blind to the suffering and how emaciated and pained these animals are. Who could clamber aboard an animal so hopeless and often struggling creature and think: 'here's a fun leisure activity?' I hope your education makes an impact because that's what's needed - rescuing those in need is a never ending job!
These elephant owners are good at hiding the truth behind colorful decorations, and people are awestruck at seeing an elephant up close. It's a deadly mix for elephants
I agree!! It's abhorrent & beggars belief?! They are clearly in pain & discomfort, yet both owners & tourists continue to exploit & inflict horrific pain. It's a combination of ignorance & selfishness at the highest level. The laws in India need to be enforced to severely punish those who have wronged these poor animals & to abolish this horrific practise once & for all! I fear I'll be long dead before there's even a hint of this happening 😡😭🙏❤️🐘
Thank God for Wildlife SOS. It's so heartbreaking to know that this horrible abuse continues to go on. I'm so happy more and more elephants are being rescued and being allowed to live in peace and safety. 🐘 ❤
Commendable work by u ppl. There is really an urgent need for the law to be reformed for the protection of life of all those elephants who are in trap. Wildlife sos can't we take these cases of how these beautiful souls are inhumanely treated to the Supreme Court in front of CJI recently seeing him and the way he's handling bench is commendable I'm hopeful that if the cases like this ( Moti, Nina, Lakshmi n all others) are brought in light in front of him he will surely do something and will do some amendments to the law.
You know, it's a little strange in a country that is vastly Hindu, and are mostly vegetarian, that the horrific treatment of these elephants is common place. SIX DECADES this animal suffered!!! I have arthritis just standing on my feet for 25 years at my job, and I'm not a 6 ton elephant!!! I really do love and respect Wildlife SOS, I have seen every episode on animal planet, and I don't think there was an episode that didn't make me cry really hard!!! I hope India starts passing, and enforcing some laws that'll put an end to this awful torture, of these very intelligent, and empathetic creatures.
Every culture has a big blind spot when it comes to caring for animals. Whether is tourist rides, or in a wedding ceremony like Nina, people are dazzled and blinded by a wondrous elephant in colorful decorations. They don't see the suffering. That's why this film is so important to us.
Cant watch this without tears😢😢😢 how this poor thing was tortured for a life time by heartless. ❤❤❤❤ she could find some happiness for final 1 year because of these people❤❤ thank you Never ride in elephants or entertain these cruel morons. Wish all animals have a peaceful life
I just read a response from Wildlife SOS to someone's question about how Nina became blind....they suspect her eyes were INTENTIONALLY PUNCTURED by a bullhook or similar to make her compliant. That is utterly despicable!!!! 😡 India needs to get out of the friggin dark ages & get real - whether it be for cultural, financial or any other reason, it is completely unacceptable to own or use elephants, period. People who still do, treat them with the utmost disrespect & cruelty, leaving them completely broken physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually - its sickening & beggars belief. They're full of hypocrisy claiming elephants as a national treasure yet they ALLOW people to steal them from their mothers & their families & subject them to a lifetime (multiple decades) of unthinkable torture. Seriously, WTH????? 😡 Thank you Wildlife SOS for advocating for elephants & being their voice.
Sadly, India is far from unique when it comes to horrible abuse of animals. Elephants are simply a very visible symbol of the cruelty. India has some of the best wildlife protection laws in the world, but enforcement is a challenge. That's why we're bringing this film to light ... these illegal elephant owners operate in the shadows, outside the law. This film is to help educate.
@Wildlife SOS thanks for your response. Yes, ENFORCEMENT is key. We need to not only educate the general public, but government & officials too, it seems?! And what do you mean by "illegal elephant owners"? Do you mean to say there are "legal" elephant owners as well??
On top of being blind and living in a chaotic city, imagine if your owner, the very person who is supposed to protect you, love you and take care of you, deliberately blinds you so that they can make more money from you!!!

How on earth can anyone be this cruel?!?! Absolutely heartbreaking to think of all the mistreated animals all over the world 😢. ❤️🐘❤️

Elephants are such pure loving souls, may God protect all elephants of the world
I'm heartbroken but happy that Nina happy, safe and getting well. But 60 years? Too long to wait..😪🐘😢
So very sad why doesn’t India do something to stop this cruel treatment I am crying for these precious precious babies God bless you for getting her away from her evil humans this is why I donate to this foundation
I was in tears when they said this poor gentle giant was blinded on purpose !!
THAT takes torture too a whole new level !!
This is another HORRIFIC story of all these horrible abused Elephants !!
Elephants were NOT put here for humans too ride !!
They were NOT put here too beg for humans !!
They weren’t put here to
be targets of Trophy Hunters !!
It infuriates me too see these majestic gentle creatures tortured so badly by HUMANS !!
I’m so thankful that I can donate too WILDLIFE SOS, too help these beautiful Soles…🐘💔🐘💔🥺😰

Thank you, Suzanne. We thought it was important for people to see this. Behind all the colorful decorations is a poor abused elephant like Nina. She's in good hands now.
I was so heartbroken and furious at the same time while watching this video. Nina’s story deeply tugged at my heartstrings; at the same time my blood was boiling at the extremely horrible cruelty done by those people to Nina, and most probably to other elephants as well. I couldn’t thank you enough for ending Nina’s seriously tormented life and giving her the life she deserves.
I share your feelings. I will NEVER accept nor forgive people who inflict such horrors on these beautiful sweet animals, any animal. It's totally unforgivable!!! 😡😡😡😭🙏❤️🐘
Such a moving story. I,.like many others here, have been following Nina's journey from the time of her rescue until now. Thanks so much to you guys.
Rest in peace Nina. You are now with your friend Asha. I worried for Nina after Asha passed. I think Nina died of a broken heart, missing Asha. 😞
Thank you so much to Wildlife SOS for giving Nina, and others, the care, love and freedom that they deserve. 💕👏
I'm always happy to be a supporter of this wonderful organisation.

Thank you for this really important video. What baffles me is how people can be so blind to the suffering and how emaciated and pained these animals are. Who could clamber aboard an animal so hopeless and often struggling creature and think: 'here's a fun leisure activity?'
I hope your education makes an impact because that's what's needed - rescuing those in need is a never ending job!
I'm proud to contribute to the organisation, I just wish it was not necessay
These elephant owners are good at hiding the truth behind colorful decorations, and people are awestruck at seeing an elephant up close. It's a deadly mix for elephants
I agree!! It's abhorrent & beggars belief?! They are clearly in pain & discomfort, yet both owners & tourists continue to exploit & inflict horrific pain. It's a combination of ignorance & selfishness at the highest level. The laws in India need to be enforced to severely punish those who have wronged these poor animals & to abolish this horrific practise once & for all! I fear I'll be long dead before there's even a hint of this happening 😡😭🙏❤️🐘
@@Go-tee71 It's so depressing isn't it? So many people want this to stop, but we appear powerless against such entrenched cruelty
Thank God for Wildlife SOS. It's so heartbreaking to know that this horrible abuse continues to go on. I'm so happy more and more elephants are being rescued and being allowed to live in peace and safety. 🐘 ❤
Commendable work by u ppl. There is really an urgent need for the law to be reformed for the protection of life of all those elephants who are in trap. Wildlife sos can't we take these cases of how these beautiful souls are inhumanely treated to the Supreme Court in front of CJI recently seeing him and the way he's handling bench is commendable I'm hopeful that if the cases like this ( Moti, Nina, Lakshmi n all others) are brought in light in front of him he will surely do something and will do some amendments to the law.
Please save all beautiful animals 🙏 😢 life's matters God bless you all ❤️ angels ❤️ 😇 😊
Gracias por amarlos y cuidarlos
You know, it's a little strange in a country that is vastly Hindu, and are mostly vegetarian, that the horrific treatment of these elephants is common place. SIX DECADES this animal suffered!!! I have arthritis just standing on my feet for 25 years at my job, and I'm not a 6 ton elephant!!! I really do love and respect Wildlife SOS, I have seen every episode on animal planet, and I don't think there was an episode that didn't make me cry really hard!!! I hope India starts passing, and enforcing some laws that'll put an end to this awful torture, of these very intelligent, and empathetic creatures.
Every culture has a big blind spot when it comes to caring for animals. Whether is tourist rides, or in a wedding ceremony like Nina, people are dazzled and blinded by a wondrous elephant in colorful decorations. They don't see the suffering. That's why this film is so important to us.
You guys are doing a great job! thank you so much SOS.
Thank you for your work and god bless u .i cannot watch this video it is too painful.
And the inhumanity of fellow indians is numbing to say the least
Poor darling Nina,I remember when she was first rescued,such neglect.Thank you so so much for everything you do.
Cant watch this without tears😢😢😢 how this poor thing was tortured for a life time by heartless. ❤❤❤❤ she could find some happiness for final 1 year because of these people❤❤ thank you
Never ride in elephants or entertain these cruel morons. Wish all animals have a peaceful life
Thanks!

I just read a response from Wildlife SOS to someone's question about how Nina became blind....they suspect her eyes were INTENTIONALLY PUNCTURED by a bullhook or similar to make her compliant. That is utterly despicable!!!! 😡 India needs to get out of the friggin dark ages & get real - whether it be for cultural, financial or any other reason, it is completely unacceptable to own or use elephants, period. People who still do, treat them with the utmost disrespect & cruelty, leaving them completely broken physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually - its sickening & beggars belief. They're full of hypocrisy claiming elephants as a national treasure yet they ALLOW people to steal them from their mothers & their families & subject them to a lifetime (multiple decades) of unthinkable torture. Seriously, WTH????? 😡
Thank you Wildlife SOS for advocating for elephants & being their voice.
Sadly, India is far from unique when it comes to horrible abuse of animals. Elephants are simply a very visible symbol of the cruelty. India has some of the best wildlife protection laws in the world, but enforcement is a challenge. That's why we're bringing this film to light ... these illegal elephant owners operate in the shadows, outside the law. This film is to help educate.
@Wildlife SOS thanks for your response. Yes, ENFORCEMENT is key. We need to not only educate the general public, but government & officials too, it seems?!
And what do you mean by "illegal elephant owners"? Do you mean to say there are "legal" elephant owners as well??
On top of being blind and living in a chaotic city, imagine if your owner, the very person who is supposed to protect you, love you and take care of you, deliberately blinds you so that they can make more money from you!!!
Adorabile Nina ❤
Thank you for all you do I'm very happy to be a monthly contributor 😊
Now she is happy
Why can't they do a campaign to make begging elephants illegal? God has a place for those who harm his special creatures ❤🙏
All I can give right now is reiki healing energy to her. I wish to be rich so I can give more support.
True . Useless and Burden in Earth ,They are. Innocent Elephant 🐘,Animals victimized always from Human Wild
