Six Days of FENYA's journey at HERD☀️
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2021
- Our carers have named the new calf in our care! And we are sharing a super lengthy update about her progress over the past six days!
The strong young elephant has come a long way in a short time. Every day has been a journey of love, patience and challenges. She is eating vegetation well, drinking water well, and now she is officially drinking milk from a bottle too!!
We decided to create this long video (yes it is an hour, so pour yourself a cup of tea!!) filled with the highlights of the past six days with our followers who have been dying to get as much info as possible. This way you can feel part of our journey so far, as we have been immersed in caring for her every move.
You will see how she allows Adine and the carers to eventually start touching her and Adine can now (slowly) hug her and how she even allows her to tend to her wounds, first while laying down, and shortly after while standing up.
We have a long journey to go with the wounds, but they are looking clean. Wildlife vet, Dr. Rogers will be returning very soon to hopefully stitch them up if he is satisfied they are clean enough, to not risk infection.
Many people have asked when she will meet the herd. That will only happen when she is fully healed. Her wounds are still very deep and serious. And for that reason, we are keeping her in her nurseries too. As well as gaining her trust, as she is a very large elephant and could accidentally injure someone due to her size.
You will see through her journey that she is nothing short of an incredibly strong SURVIVOR, and that is what our carers chose to call her, in a local South African language of Sotho. 💚They named her FENYA💚.
Soon we will share more about some of her special moments with Khanyisa! 🥰
Thank you again for the amazing support and love and messages!

I have been alone for over a year in Covid. I do not have family and as we all know, our friends have their own levels of stress during these times. So every day I remind myself: I am safe, I am healthy, I have nothing to complain about, and I am grateful. But I have been away from nature and animals which (for me) are my whole reason for living and being on the planet. You have no idea what your videos mean to me. Every single day, when I need to connect to something, reach out, feel love, and remind myself to stay focused. I will watch your videos and others from sanctuaries. You have no idea how much strength, hope, and love you have afforded me through your shares. This past year I have given $5000 to sanctuaries all over the world. That number will grow until the day I am no longer here. And it makes me incredibly, incredibly happy to share these moments through TH-cam. Thank you for ensuring love wins. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Erin such a pleasure to read your comments.
GOD BLESS YOU(AND ALL🐘🐘🐘❤👌💓💖💞💕😍)THANK YOU🙌😘HOLLANDA❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘🌷⚘
Beautifully said...Bless you.
You are my inspiration to be a better person. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤️🐘
Erin 🎉 j’espère que vous allez bien? 🎉❤..
Welcome to HERD, Fenya. Heal those wounds baby. Physical and emotional. We got you now! You will loved in person by your wonderful caregivers and via Internet by tens of thousand of people now! ❤️
Thank you for your love and support.... being older her emotional scarring may just be a lot deeper than that of Khanyisa's. We will be with her every step of the way.
@@herdelephantorphanage You seem to have a way of covering those bad memories with love and kindness and making them fade as the wounds heal
I saw a lot of emotional healing in these few days. After some time, the scars will be physical only. Fortunately she doesn't have a broken leg or something, like poor Fishan. Seems she can move her ears too, that's what I was most worried.
She also has 2 big sisters - Khanyisa and Timisa, and a whole herd of affectionate and doting ellies waiting for her to get well 😊💟💟
@@SweetUniverse oh yes I know, and am so anxious for her to be able to play with them soon!
She yearned for love, and it was given. I’m so glad she spent these days in all your loving care, healing her broken heart as well as her wounds. You all gave her so much. I don’t want to even picture what she endured alone, before she was placed in your peaceful nursery, with the warmth of everyone’s touch. I was so hopeful!
I wish those poachers could see what their cruelty did to this innocent, sweet little baby..My heart!💔🥰😘
You wrote the same way I feel about it, and I haven’t even dared to watch the entire video yet, only read the introductory words and seen the first few seconds of pictures of the poor little one who endured so much, while all alone, even!! 😢😨🥺😰😓 But I paused it because I cannot stop crying about all that this big little precious elephant baby endured!! HOW could men be so mean, so cruel, so heartless????!! 😩😢😤😭🥺☹️
When I try to think of all her tremendous pain and tremendous fear and anguish it caused her, I hope these men are punished by God by feeling and fearing EXACTLY as she had to suffer!!!! 🥺😩😱😰😥😭😫😩😖
Watching this whole video put together after pieces of it, is heart wrenching now that she’s gone. What a fighter she was. Her wounds were so damaging, so severe, so very deep. It was disgusting what this baby had to endure. And her life cut so short! She had such a spirited personality, like how she crushed and played with that bottle! And the close up of her eye, her lashes, she knew she was safe.... finally. Everything possible was done to save this little soul. Bit evil won... she’ll be a shining light, hopefully to help stop these horrible acts against animals, keeping their habitats safer in the future!!! I can’t go thru a day now without thinking of little Fenya, and all the people who tried to save her life... I watch her videos, sometime crying, sometimes smiling. She is a very special little Ellie.... ♥️ loved by so many
Thank you for the heartfelt message. It is a very heartsore loss for all of us! Her wounds were severe and so too was her trauma. She did not deserve what happened to her. We miss her so much!
Yes ❤️
@@herdelephantorphanage I still watch her tribute when I can handle it. ❤️
She tried. HERD tried. She was in a safe space.
oh noooo :(((( I just seen her first 6 days video on here and couldn't believe reading that she passed ..its so sad ...she was in such good hands !! ❤😢❤😢❤
@ReNe-js5mx It's difficult ♡ in 2023 baby Phabeni was rescued in November. In March 2024, he is with the herd. I also cried about Fenya a year ago.
Fenya a survivor, Herd's team God's angels.
Thank you so much
@@herdelephantorphanage is it maybe possible to use glass bottles? The micrplastic scourge is real . For Khanyisa too ? 😮
hello! Just replied in recent comment :-)
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME LITTLE FENYA!!!💕🐘💞 That poor baby has been thru hell!! I 🙏 pray for her SPEEDY RECOVERY!!😪
Thank you so much!
The loss of this little girl just breaks my heart.
How do you know this??
Fenya, what a beautiful name, she had the heart of a survivor. She had a loving team of dedicated human carers to give her the chance at a beautiful life. Her heart felt and responded to those who offered their love. Bless all at Herd who with infinite compassion gave her last days the love and peace she deserved as a sentient being. I cried when I heard of her passing, as I'm sure all who gave so much to helping her survive the cruelty she faced in her short life before she came into the loving care of all at HERD.
I cannot comprehend how much this little one has suffered, physically and emotionally . I can comprehend how much the doctor bills will be. There's a link on HERD's homepage where you can make a donation if you wish so you'll be personally invested in the calf's recovery and rehabilitation.
Thank you Tom.... we simply could not do what we do without donations!! so yes you are a part of this journey!!
Will do.
@@mchapman132 So true! Even if it's 5$, those 5$ add up! If u can't send anything, send prayers or share the link!
I wanted to name her Day 6💓 but she's a survivor!!!!
Donated!
Sent hundreds for what would have been useless Christmas gifts. Was never happier
💙🖤💙
In saving little Fenya, you teach kindness to the entire world.
ah we love that, James. Thank you. Hope you are well!
@@herdelephantorphanage There is one thing I've learned in a long life: that no one, human or non-human, should ever be left alone and frightened.
@@JamesAdams-ev6fc So so true
Fenya Survivor!!!!👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
@@herdelephantorphanage Thank you 🙏 for asking. Soon COVID will be over and ecotourism will boom 💥 again. Hope that all of you are in good health and enjoying life 🐝🐞🦐🐥🦅
RIP BABY FENYA ♥️♥️♥️
You are TRUELY missed...
Everytime I watch any video from the herd I think of Fenya and what could have been .....
I watched as the angels of the herd pulled baby Khanyias thru her injuries and trauma so I felt positive Fenya would make it too..
I just kept seeing Fenya going on walks with the other elephants and Khanyias .....
Also playing with Khanyias along the way.....
Such a tragedy but I know all was done for Fenya and the rest was in God's hands.....
People who love animals just don't forget in a short time
RIP Fenya, you touched so many hearts. You will live on forever❤️❤️
❤️🧡
Seeing her wounds made me cry. How can humans inflict such cruelty. I'm glad she's getting such great care.💝
Trap hunting was always the worst. Well, humans have to eat, we have hunted for millenias. Hunting wasn't cruelty, it was necessary. Countless elephants have been hunted. Counless cattle, pig and poutry butchered. Modern age has enabled us to ask should we hunt at all very intelligent beings like whales, dolphins, apes, elephants. It's great that masses have awkened into preserving the nature and these wonderful animals. Some people still hunt for survival and improving their life. A lot of people have moved to live as a vegan, although it's difficult (and expensive). When time passes on, I see us moving past the butchering of animals and replacing our food with something we can get without killing anything. It just takes some time.
It made me cry too. 😢
The love of money (GREED) is the root of all evil...
@@Janeintheok Yeah, although greed is older than money.
We do horrible stuff like that out of fear. How to elevate that fear? Kindness, education to make survival easier, community.
In terms of those who buy ivory products, I think of this little girl being on her own, crying out for her mother, wandering around trying to find her, being afraid every minute of the day, not being able to lie down to sleep because there’s no one to protect her, seeking water to quench her thirst, tossing grass and leaves on her wounds in an effort to relieve her the pain, the overall physical and emotional torture she suffered. Now, in safe and loving arms, communicating with her new herd family, and finally being able to lie down to sleep. You’ve got angels, little Fenya.
@Theopisti Panagiotakou I wish the buyers of ivory and ivory products would find it so, too.
I was so happily surprised to see how quickly she learned to start trusting you all! First sleeping lying down, then taking water and food. Letting you care for her wounds that must be extremely painful, and finally milk. Truly AMAZING progress in one week for a creature so scared and in pain. As Joshua said, she really has shown her intelligence in learning to start letting go of her fear so quickly! Hats off to the team for your peaceful, caring ways that are making all the difference! When we heal one, we help to heal us all, and no one knows and LIVES that truth better than HERD!!!! Best Wishes from rural Northern California.
I find this hard to watch. Despite doing EVERYTHING you could, Fenya suffered injuries that turned out to be fatal. Had she been found earlier maybe she could have survived. Herd gave her kindness and love. I recall crying all night when she left us. She will never be forgotten and she is forever loved. ❤🐘❤🙏🕊🌟
JESUS I SURRENDER LITTLE FENYA INTO YOUR HANDS.....GIVE HER THE ENDURANCE TO BEAR THE PAIN...HEAL HER WITH YOUR HEALING TOUCH....I ASK THIS IN YOUR MOST PRECIOUS NAME......AMEN.
LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE TO U FENYA....GET WELL SOON MY BABY....
Thank you for your willingness to make a difference in a life that was lost, alone and hurting.
It is our duty to fix what other humans do wrong!! Poor thing..
Adine just seeing Fenya graduate to nudging you, letting you apply cream and introducing water and milk, is a beautiful thing. I love seeing her acknowledge you're helping and trying to fast track her healing so she can meet her new family soon xx
Every time I see this video I cry at 77 I know how wonderful life can be. But some cruel Bastard decided to make Kenya pay. I can’t imagine the suffering she went through. Thank everyone for all you could do. I’ll never forget this little girl
Fenya seems to crave love and affection. When she looked up at Joshua, her eyes seemed to be full of love! Thank you so much for working so hard to save Fenya
Thank you HERD for all you do.
Very welcome!
I am crying tears of joy for this baby and I can't tell you how much it moves me to see that she is on the mend. God bless you all for all that you are doing. 🙏🏻
bless.. thank you
Mee too!!!

My freaking heart! After Khanyisa stole it I would've never thought....yet here I am. It's fulfilling watching these relationships genuinely grow! A beautiful place where respect and love is mutual! This content is meaningful in many ways and I grow more and more attached to this herd every day! Peace and love to this admirable family and thank you all for sharing these moments with us!
:-) Thank you .... and it is our pleasure to share their journey with such caring and appreciate followers!.
I was in tears at the end of this video. She looked so emaciated despite her good appetite. It made me so happy when she finally accepted the milk bottle, and yes Fenya is a perfect name. May she continue to prosper in your loving care.
May the Creator rain down infinite blessings on Fenya, her care givers and rescuers and all beings at your sanctuary...there aren't words to describe the depth and beauty of your work and your souls...♥️
Thank you for loving this child and being so patient!!💕💕💕
There is nothing like the healing power of love. She is so beautiful and precious and she deserves all the love in the world. ❤🐘❤
I Can REALLY tell that EACH CARER HAS HIS HEART ❤., as well as ADINE, IN caring for these remarkable animals!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL. 🌹🙏💕
Adine's patience and gentle persistence as she builds trust with Fenya is beatiful
Just beautiful. Another "Earth Angel". Thank you all. All of you are.🙏🏻🐘🐘🙏🏻😇😍👍🏻🕊🕊🕊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Joshua is wonderful, too, so patient, kind, insightful.
Thanks for posting these great videos. We learn so much about the elephants through these videos. We fall in love with these animals because we get to meet them and learn about them.
To know Joshua spends the night with her is very touching . The night can seem so long .
God Bless Adine and the Workers of the Herd such loving care of the Elephants !
Welcome the HERD family, Feenya!
💚
Adine you and your caregivers have a BIG HEART this is your calling
You gave her love & a family she would have never knew existed. She is suffering no more. Your efforts were not in vain. She left this world knowing humans can be loving.
This just makes me cry. There's gotta be more kind people like you in the world than cruel people. Blessings.
Thank you 💚
@@herdelephantorphanage we can make it a better world one day at a time.

I cried when she took her milk bottle for the first time. ♥️ thank u all so so much
Me too🥰
when all the world seemed to be on fire...we found faith in mankind here at the herd...Blessing be upon all of you and the beautiful Fenya
It's beautiful to see this baby accepting the love they are giving her. Makes my heart melt.
I cheered out loud when she took her bottle! Her eyes were so big and round. She is starting to enjoy the love and safety but she is retaining all of her sassy attitude ♡♡♡
It brought tears to my eyes when she finally let you touch her. Such wonderful news and finally getting to drink some milk. Love her name.
The HERD team is amazing you make the world a humane place where humans actions are intelligent and superior by supporting animals.😻 Fenya welcome and find happiness little dear. There is so much love for you💖💝💕🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🐘
THank you so much - by the way - love your Lammie leggings!!!
@@herdelephantorphanage ☺️🙏🏻💕💕💕💕💕🎉😊😁🐑
I don't know about you all,....but seeing how she's coming along makes me tear up. Her first bottle of milk. Allowing Adine and the caregivers to clean and care for her wounds. She's doing good.
So broken hearted, it is beyond my understanding how cruel some people are. I just don't understand. I was so sad then felt so heart warming when she was warming up to Adine and carers. I had sad tears and happy tears. Thank you so much for being there for her. If I had money, this is where I would help as much as possible.
Fenya ❤❤ It's amazing that all ellies are communicating with the lil girl.. All of you .. Adine, the carers,little baby Khanyisa and all the Elephants in the herd are so so kind and so accepting.. Soon she will feel so secure and loved and she will be okay and have her own family and sisters.. I am still praying for Fenya and all of you and all will be well. ❤❤💫
I love her already! She was being so brave and trying to defend herself after so long in the wild on her own. I was so glad to hear when she finally laid down to sleep instead of sleeping while standing. She must have been exhausted from being terrified on her own for so long. I hope this darling girl heals inside and out.
As the Beatles once sang.....all you need is love. She's going to find so much love at HERD.
Her eyes when Tigere is sharing branches with her say everything. She wants to trust. She's grateful for the food. Who doesn't like free food? LOL
@@mchapman132 I saw that toward the end of the video! (I comment while watching when I notice something lol) I love how far she has come in such a short time!
That first milk bottle would bring back memories of her mother. Everything she lost to poachers. Each one of the baby elephants we watch has a different personality. We are proud of all of you who give this hurt, frightened calf the will to go on.
My eyes filled throughout the hour. That dear animal has been through SO much! Her wounds were pretty hard to take, but it's almost a 'must see' to get some little bit of understanding of what she's been through. Adine--you are a miracle worker! Your patience and love really brought her around. It was so moving to see Fenya standing at the open window, having had her first bottles and lots of hugs and hand holding, with her trunk periscoping to smell her new surroundings, her new herd. Good on Joshua and Liveson! Great carers who are earning her trust. Thank God for all the love and skill you all bring to these beautiful animals! And thank you for providing us with a window into her new life!!!💕💕💕🐘🐑
When I first started watching I was so moved that I started sobbing and couldn’t read the words. I am going back and starting over. So exciting that she let Adine touch her. Well done Fenya, and to all those taking such good care of her, thank you ❤️🐘
Another baby (but not an elephant) who got the help he really needed:

It's sad at first... then almost a miracle happens!
What a beautiful name. Another baby to fall in LOVE WITH 🐘🐘🐘💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing your love with the elephants!
@@herdelephantorphanage I'm a animal lover. But the HERD and all of you, have really bought me and I know others a great JOY. 2020 was a very stressful. You all really give me some much LOVE AND JOY. I have anxiety at times. But watching the HERD RELAX ME. IT'S MY THERAPY 💗💗💗. THANKS SO MUCH
@@beulahcarter8045 That gave us heart smiles - thank you Beulah!
@@beulahcarter8045 hi, glad to see you still here 😀
Adine looks a little worse for wear, but the little baby is finally relaxing around her. I cried when I saw the baby’s wounds. The HERD staff are remarkable.💜💜
👏🏼Applause👏🏼 for all who are helping Fenya with her recovery. Please let the carers know that they are so very much appreciated. We admire them and respect them for their amazing care of the elephants, their knowledge, their nurturing, their intellect, their skills, their heart, their kindness, their love for these majestic creatures. Seeing these involved carers and listening to these carers’ explanations and updates is a highlight in these HERD and JABULANI videos. Yes, please give them applause, and a “pat on the back” for a job extremely well done, and for being amazing people.
Yes, they are heroes‼️
Praise God for HERD and
JABULANI care givers🙏🏻‼️
Thanks, thanks, God and Adine and all the HERD!!!!!!
Fenya, Khanyisa, Lammie and all, all the HERD'S elephants and carers LOVE YOU!!!!!
Its amazing how quickly she seemed to understand the people were trying to help her. They are so intelligent. My heart goes out to this wonderful animals.
This poor elephant, so grateful to these beautiful people who take care of her
Fenya es preciosa y ¡pobrecita! va cogiendo con fianza con Adine y su equipo. Es una bebé elefante admirable y valiente y ya confía en su entorno. Aún le quedarán secuelas de su tortura pero ahora recibe mucho amor y lo sabe. ¡Dulce Fenya todos te amamos! Gracias Adine y equipo por vuestra maravillosa labor.
Just finished watching this and oh boy, when she took that milk bottle it set me bawling again. Thank you soo much to all of you at HERD for the love and support given to this little one, and of course all the other ellies. Will make a donation at end of the month to help towards their care.
This was the best video I have watched all year. Thank you, Lord, for directing her path to these amazing people.
With their dedication, care, and the love she will heal physically and mentally. The herd that awaits her is the best and will accept, that makes all the difference.
Fenya you could not be in a better place.
My heart aches at what this little girl has suffered. You've made incredible progress with her in a very short time. I can't wait until the day she meets the rest of the herd and has herself a new mom and lots of aunties and uncles. I guess Khanyisa will be her new baby sister. :) Thanks to all of you at HERD for being such loving, caring, incredible people.
This elephant actually died.
Adine is an earth angel sent to do amazing things. Thank you so much for loving these beautiful creatures 🐘
A few years in my eyes !
The best documentary on the internet.
Darling little girl. Do hope she'll be able to flap that ear one day soon.
Thanks to Adine and all the super carers.
My heart skipped a beat at the 20 min mark ....I knew she loved Adine
special moments.....
First and foremost.... thank you to the entire team for all that you do for these wonderful and magnificent elephants !!! Your love and kindness and patience is beautiful and inspiring. My heart breaks for these sweet babies who are injured by these horrific snares. Fenya and Khanisya are lucky to have been found and brought to HERD where they will be loved and cared for 24 hours a day for life. And thank you for the long and detailed update on Fenya's progress. I watched every minute of it and cried at her injuries and smiled at her growing trust..... Please keep us updated on her progress.... when you get the time....... Hopefully, she and Khanisya will soon get to be friends.....
Our sincere pleasure! Thank you for the kind comments and taking the time to watch the long video! Keep watching for an update with Khanyisa!
@@herdelephantorphanage Thank you. I eagerly await the next update. I just made a small donation..... I wish that it could be more...... But I will donate when I can.
That is very kind of you - thank you!
That was so heartbreaking to watch how scared Fenya was. All her horrific wounds. I do not understand people who hurt animals or other people , it doesn’t compute in my head, WHY. Thank goodness for wonderful carers and the team support, nurturing, loving people like YOU, here on our Earth 🌍
It was so good to see wee Fenya turn around and start trusting. Just to see her sleeping laying down. I am starting to LOVE with all my HEART , all of you with 2 legs 🦵 and 4 legs 🦵 . The hours of time, patience , nurturing that your whole team has with POSITIVE ENERGY is nothing but feel GOOD. FENYA is at her HOME. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🥰🍀🌻😀💐🌺🌸🌼
It warms my heart to have kind people like you helping these beautiful animals. Thank you for making a difference in this world.
I am in astonishment on how she progressed so rapidly. All due from the patience and love from Herd team and Adine. She could not help but feel the love!!!!
We hope so! Thank you!
And Joshua who selflessly stays through the night to comfort the baby girl.
because love is the best medicine not only for human beings but for animals too particz error particularly for the sensible elephants.
Yesterday and today were my "donation days," which happen periodically, and the HERD was a recipient. My husband and I have been retired for 17+ years, and we've had a life filled with many blessings (the least of which is financial). It is always a pleasure to pay it forward and be part of making life better for all things great and small. I was in tears for this poor baby, but her life has certainly taken a major turn for the better under all of your loving care. Am anticipating seeing how baby K and the herd react to Fenya. I suspect they are all communicating already.
amazing! Thank you so much Donna - to you and your hubby. That is really kind of you. We will make the best use of every penny you have shared with us :-) Yes - we have no doubt there is communication beyond our capacity to hear ... such wonderful animals!
@Donna Dickey youre such wonderful people with a heart of Gold. I have also so much dreams to build good nursing "HOMES" where people feel as human and life theire personality. But its really difficult. But i know when the right time is there...i finf the right person. Thanks for youre help for the elephants to you and youre husbund 🥰
I can tell she really liked having those upper doors opened exposing the fresh air and sunshine. Confinement is hard for her but necessary at this time in her recovery.
This is really precious example of trust and love. Fenya is a true survivor..she has gone through too much struggle but now in loving care..
Thank you
@@herdelephantorphanage is it possible to use glass milk bottles rather than the plastic ones? So many dangers of microplastics and also for Khanyisa. Or maybe Fenya can drink out of a bucket? Good to see though!
@@hellok7877 I think they use plastic because glass is very dangerous when it broke, and the chances are higher with such powerful babies. Anyway it can be wrong, I am just guessing.
Glass can be dangerous for all involved if they were to break, the plastic works best for now until another solution may come along. A bucket is a possibility if she did not take bottle that was our next solution, as in the video. But there is a lot of emotional security and connection for them to have their milk via teat/bottle. Lets see how they go! :-)
This is one of the most beautiful things Ive seen. Adine bonding with this little baby is just WOW. Thanks for doing this!
It is an honour to have watched her go through the motions. There is not guidebook, it is just instinct and love. Having all the "titbits" of videos it made sense to stitch them for people to see it in motion.... because it is very special to see. SUch a pleasure and thank you x
I like how Fenya also flirted with Joshua. Khanyisa also seems to like the male humans. It may be, though, that there are more male carers who are around more often, bringing food, bottles, attention, etc. But Adine, as the leader, helps the babies understand that the humans of HERD are great! Even the adult elephants see that.
Adine, I am humbled. You are a rock star with Fenya, the little “survivor.”

This was amazing. I think I shed a few tears of joy at the end of this video. So much progress has been made with this precious baby in six short days. I look forward to following Fenya’s journey at Herd. Bless you and thank you, Adine and Carers for all your hard work, commitment and love for these elephants.
I can say it. A billion times. Thank you so much for caring for these animals. Because every time you look into there eyes. You see love. Many blessings. From Philadelphia Pennsylvania. USA.💕🤗😁😇😍🥰😘💕🙏🐘
She needs time and patience, love and food and she will gradually improve. It will be lovely when she can be introduced to the herd. Tku Adine
She has a way to go but God sent her to his human angels. Already beginning to trust and that is a huge step to her recovery.
Yes, her guardian angels led her to them. She has a purpose to fulfill and is touching the hearts of so many.
@@josi4251 I would think that guardian angels would have been better to prevent her being trapped in the snare in the first place.
Thank you for sharing this beginning of her journey into her new family of people and the Jabulani Herd. My heart is full of love for Fenya. After all she's been through, knowing she chose to keep going in spite of her injuries and being alone, she chose to survive. As I've been praying for her I've asked God to heal her memories of her horrible ordeal before she came to HERD. God bless and protect you all.
Its been 10 months now, and this is the first time i can look at this video. And even now, the tears are comming. Little Fenya, you are a survivor, the name was just right for you. You survived a long time alone in the bush, to come in de care of HERD, and in the hearts off all off us. ❤
I'm glad that Joshua stayed with her and that she got some sleep. He is doing a great job.
When you work with them i can feel that responsibility God gave us to look after the animals deep inside
I wish god would stop snare users before... well, before they were born would be good. But for some reason, that doesn't happen.
@@debbys-abqnm4537 God has given "man" free will.
Some have chosen bad. Majority good. 🏴
Trust being established; Fenya really craving and enjoying all the affection and touching, so essential to her healing. Thank you all.💖
When you think you have seen it all, how can people be this way? The bad part is that the monsters weren’t after her but probably her mum.thank god for people like HERD, bless you all.
From 💔💔💔💔 breaking to ❤️saving. She too will flourish and yet another of God’s loving creature will be healed to bless our world. The glory and praise goes to you, Heavenly Father. You have provided the HERD for a purpose such as this. Joshua looks like a wonderful kind man. 🙏
I love her name. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful like the life ahead of her! Thank you everyone for your dedication and love!
She's a pretty girl. She will grow up strong and loving. One can tell that her spirit is strong by the way she reacts to her new surroundings.
We will pray much for her recovery and healing of her little mind and heart.
❤ Thank you to you all for helping her.
Ah, the old hiding behind the gate with a hose waiting for a thirsty trunk to emerge for a drink of water trick, nice move Adine. Thank you Herd for taking the time to shoot this documentary, I adore this bunch of Phants and Fenya is an adorably cute addition!💙
I’m so glad she has some place like yours to give her time, patience and love. Blessings to all of you for everything you do!
Thank you, Beth!

Joshua seems like such a gentle soul and good for this precious little girl. Thank you, Adine and staff, for all you are doing to save Fenya and the other elephants in your care. Blessings on all of you there!
I have tears in my eyes seeing the severity of Fenya's wounds. Thank you Adine for your loving, and soothing healing hands.
I am in tears watching her
we have been in tears too... lots and lots....
She's in the best hands possible for a chance at surviving, my best wishes to Joshua for his dedication to the herd. I think you might have something there with the hole in the door, the whole body of a human is scary whereas just a hand or an arm seems to desensitize her feelings and she's able to cope. The sacred eyes at the beginning of video compared to the calm loving eyes at the end. Watched from start to end.
When I saw Feny looking through the hole, I wondered what if they tried to feed her though it? And a few minutes later, bingo! I would have offered Adine a bucket though... but she took advantage of the opportunity to let Fenya sniff her and continue to relate Adine to food and loving touches.
Thank you Adine and to the carers and to the whole HERD Team for taking such wonderful care of her. She is in the best hand possible. You are incredible!!!!! 🐘💕🐘💕🐘
Yes. There is no mistaking the nervous fear, the first part through her eyes really rid telling of her experience so far
She sure is in the best hands

Thank you Joshua, and Liverson!
Great job on getting her to take her bottle, you are all awesome, Adine, too of course!
We love you little Fenya, what a beautiful name your carers give you, our little Survivor!
God Bless HERD!!
Omg, the last time I watch Fenya, she was so scared and won't let anyone touch her. Now look at her!! What a BIG PROGRESS!! THANK YOU HERB
may God give you all the reward for all your dedication love and care for this little elephant God bless your hearts
Thank you
Breathtaking in the care being given, heart is pounding here with joy. 'small confession', have been using daughter Renee's laptop over months' now, mine broke, no chance of repair with lockdown, but so very grateful to be able to follow HERD. have been sharing on FB, and hopefully next month be able to send another small donation. Love to you all from Scotland XX
I adore how Adine sings her lullabies. 🥰
Sweet Fenya ♥️🐘♥️ You were SO brave 🥰 🐘♥️
If I could I would come through this screen and hug each and every one of you for the loving care you give these sweet souls
My heart melted at the very beginning. Thank you for doing this. It is God's work.
Now if we can do this for Syrian refugees.
How sweet when Joshua was petting Fenya’s trunk she was smiling 😊😇🙏 love you all at Herd thank you Adine for you patience and kindness ❤️ 🐑🦅🦉🐘🐘🐘🐘
What heroic work, seeing how quickly that youngster elephant bonded with Adine - amazing. Hearing Fenya respond to the praise she got after finally drinking milk...that's truly astonishing to me. As angry as I feel seeing what some idiot did to Fenya with that snare, that anger is more than balanced out by the inspiration and hope this video represents. Well done HERD, incredible video.
Heartbreaking, so glad she had love before she passed.
Fenya went thru so much! Yes, this little girl is a survivor. What a wonderful name. Thank you for the video!!! You are my heroes!
