Lek deserves a noble prize for all the work she has done saving elephants
Elephants have a lot of the same complex emotions we have, they are lovely!
This story deserves a full length film. I felt this segment was only a beginning 😔
Agree , I could look for many hours . This is a 🌿feel good video🌿
Love & Bananas: An Elephant Story by Ashley Bell
This is the full length feature about Lek
@@juliacheetham6854 Thank you so much ❤️
Here is the TH-cam channel of the sanctuary she runs: th-cam.com/video/w-QER6Nt73M/w-d-xo.html This is Lek with the elephant who loves her the most and who follows her seemingly everywhere she goes 🥰
I think there is a film just released called Elephant Mother, (2022), it seems to be touring at the mo, just saw Lek and the film will be in Australia in Aug ‘23
If anyone deserves a herd membership, it’s definitely her. 🥰🥰🥰
Johnny Depp needs herd immunity
What an incredible woman. She is an Angel saving the elephants from cruel torture. Whether it's from working or the terrible side show. Bless her and all the elephants she saves that they always stay free from cruelty. Bless you.
That image of an elephant pushing her to lead is beautiful
To watch Lek with not only the elephants but also the hundreds of other rescued animal residents of ENP (Elephant Nature Park, Thailand) feels like watching pure love. Together with her husband (Darrick, a Canadian), the ENP staff, medical team, and mahouts (elephant caretakers), along with volunteers and supporters not only from Thailand but around the globe, she has built a sanctuary that boggles the mind both for the healing and life it offers the animals and in how gently and beautifully the work is accomplished. Her life's work is staggering in its accomplishments and she is a role model for how one person, with focus and determination, can find the resources and strategies to make a difference for animals, humans, and our planet. And while her work comes with a substantial personal burden, she is able to summon so much joy at the same time. How lucky we are to have people like Khun Lek in this world.
100%, well said
Amen to that! Lek is a real hero/ine and an angel at the same time!!
Thank you for featuring Lek and her amazing work and dedicated advocacy for Asian elephants. 💜
DO NOT pay to ride elephants, force them to paint, dance or entertain you in any manner. They are individuals with the right to live an elephants life with family love and care.
What a special, inspirational and amazing woman! The greatest deeds we humans can ever do is acts of love, kindness and compassion to all living beings. This is our duty and purpose. To be of service to and to care for all of Earth's animals. 💚💜🐾🙏🕊🐘🐘
That's right. Biodiversity is Earth's greatest asset.
Definitely. And now let's examine what our species is doing in reality....
That‘s exactly my life credo!! ❤🙏🏼
Lek is an amazing woman
This needs to be in the millions of views already.. Im tired of waiting.
This made my day, bless this wonderful lady and those beautiful elephants. We need more people in the world like her. :)
Extraordinarily special. To have such a bond must be awesome. You can see they love and want to protect her just as she has done to them.
Lek is an international treasure. Love Lek's work. #SaveTheElephantsSaveTheWorld
Oh Lek.... Beautiful Lek.... ❤️ You are responsible for my emotional tears of joy respect and love that came up..... For anyone who wants to see the wonder of this golden woman you can visit in TH-cam the official 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
" Elephant News" Channel and also the "Eleflix" Channel.....Of course she is in FB and Instagram.
All the world needs to see her work....She is working hard since she was a teenager to change the mentality and the habits of the locals and also the tourist industry who stubbornly continues the elephant rides or attractions and shows.... Tourists support financial a huge crime by enjoying all these.....Elephants have been victims of humans for centuries. Under slavery they are working or begging on the streets of Asian countries or suffering in circuses.
All these demands the first "breaking" of the young elephant, babies actually. They keep them tied up and torture them bit them and let them without food or water until they surrender themselves by fear to the man who wants to exploit them.... This torture can last weeks. Many young elephants die from the physical and psychological torture and pressure.
People need to be aware and help in any way they can wonders like Lek to continue the great fight for liberation of the victims.
The victims of cruelty greed and trafficking.
We can be all together in this by helping pioneers like Lek💖🐘🐘🐘
❤❤❤❤❤ Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just felt my own freedom just looking at her 😍😍
BEAUTIFUL ! This woman is blessed, the elephant s are saved 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
Elephants 🐘 are my favorite animal! Bless her for saving them. 💕
I admire the elephants. They still dare to love a human after all the labor and trauma.
Completely heart warming. Also all those influencers riding elephants should be shamed.
Yeah, people should realize that just because elephants are big and strong doesn't mean their backs are designed to carry the weight of a person. :(
@@cintronproductions9430 More than just the weight factor, it's how the elephant calves are trained to allow riders. It's absolutely barbaric what they do to these elephants. Isolating them from their mothers, starving them, beating them, tying them down into an unnatural position for days on end. It's revoltingly cruel.
Never ride an elephant!
The problem is, if I had never ridden and petted an elephant at a carnival, I wouldn't be facinated by them now. How do we capture children's attention to them in a humane way?
@@hoosierpioneer There's nothing inherently harmful about petting an elephant but riding one is unacceptable. Carnivals and circuses are unacceptable. We know better now.
Seeing elephants interact with their herds and environments as naturally as possible should inspire people to love elephants, not seeing them tortured into performing stupid tricks or giving rides.
Reputable zoos and sanctuaries do an incredible job of giving the elephants the best possible life in captivity while still educating the public and inspiring younger generation.
@@mokko759 I was a naive kid and thought they were raised like my puppy and that they enjoy working for us. I couldn't tell by looking at them at the carnival what they had been through.
This is sweet and heart breaking.
Bless this woman and her work.
What a beautiful person with such a big heart. 🙏🏼
Lek is such a wonderful woman with a beautiful soul 💐💖 May God Bless Lek, her Family, her Coworkers, Volunteers, Sponsors & Everyone that donates and EVERY ANIMAL she helps, etc... 🙏🏻😇💙🙏🏻😇💙🙏🏻😇💙🙏🏻😇💙🙏🏻😇💙🙏🏻😇💙🙏🏻😇💙
Lek is a bless to this world! We need to protect her at all costs. Her work is priceless.
Love that BBC did another special on our favorite and most adored Khun Lek Chailert, sharing this with my family and friends :)
It’s nice to see Lek and her elephants featured here on BBC. Lek runs “Elephant Nature Park,” where the rescued elephants are taken. There are even a few adorable young calves and mothers. The videos are wonderful on TH-cam on two channels, “Elephant News” and “Eleflix.”
Lek is my biggest female hero for animals!! She is an angel for these precious and tortured souls!! ❤❤ How I wish I could visit this sanctuary once!!
You need to do a full programme following Lek and ENP. The world needs to see this.
They're more human and forgiving than we are
Talk about putting love into the world! What a woman!❤
So honorable what she's doing heartfelt 💜🐘🙏
This is so sweet and special!❤️
I'm shedding tears just thinking how these beautiful and majestic creatures were abused. But, more importantly, I would love to meet Lek and work side by side with her. I do feel a connection with abused and neglected animals of all species. I've devoted my entire adult life to rescuing and rehoming every single animal that crossed my path. I worked for the CT Humane Society as secretary of the law enforcement department typing up warrants for abusing, neglecting, etc. any animal or animals that I received a phone call for. Such gratifying work. Now, as I'm in my 60's, I can just watch and admire people such as this WONDERFUL AND LOVING LEK, speak up for those who cannot. GOD BLESS YOU LEK AND ALL OF YOUR ELEPHANT CHILDREN. MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FOR SAVING ALL THESE LIVES.
Yes I am a lover of elephants
Magical
I wish I could be part of their herd ❤️ 🐘
The feeling, the satisfaction must be of simply another level !!! I feel so jealous.
I bet it's an amazing feeling to have an elephant love you back.
I am utterly speechless.
Beautiful
My heart is filled with joy after watching this beautiful video.
I love LEK😊
love elephant 🐘 ❤
Thanks for the beautiful footage
Bro, imagine actually being friends and being loved by a herd of elephants. I envy this woman.
4:43 It looked like the elephant was smiling and it heartwarming.
Lek is my hero
So beautiful
This is beautiful
Amazing! Elephants and lions are my favorite wildlife and I hate the abuse of all species
As Chris Packham says that is what you pay your TV licence for, from one wonderful Human to another
I'm crying. I know you are too.
Our earth elephant angel Lek 🐘💚
Wonderful lady
This are beautiful beyond ❤️
I love lek.
Her channel here on TH-cam is called "Elephantnews" if you want to see more.
Veľmi krasne video. Slony su úchvatné zvierata . Len ich tiež ubyva a su vystavene pytlliakom pre kly . Preto ich treba viac chranit .
Beautiful Thai land , With Excellent elephants 👍💐💐i 🙏🎤
Great Lady.
Lek's work with ENP and Gentle Giants is amazing. Her latest project at Chock Chai Thailand, (Lek is helping a previous elephant circus show owners), has adopted her new method of caring for elephants - no chain and saddle off. We tourists can support these projects visit them, to see happy elephants and to turn the tide and stop elephant slavery and abuse, with our pockets and feet. 💝🐘💝
Video must be at least 10 mnt..Love to watch it.. Extraordinary..🌺💓🌱
Inspiration and good luky
awe!
👏👏❤❤LEK IS MY KIND OF LADY ❤❤👏👏
Awww 🥺 such a beautiful story
The Elephant whisperer
So.great Lec
That’s amazing
That injured elephant being forced to work kills my soul 😞
Very inspiring!
Que hermosura adoro los elefantes 🥰🥰que maravillosa es vivir cerca de ellos🤗🐘🐘👍😉que lamentable que allá gente enferma que los casa aún o los daña🤨😕
Amazing.
People do not even realise how much of human history would never have happened if it wasn't for elephants. For the past four thousand years they have been used in warfare, construction, transport and religion. They shaped empires and felled many more. They were not just beasts of burden but idols and deities.
wholesome 😊
Can anyone tell me where the full-length vid of this is?
That's my only complaint with these vids... They are never long enough.
Only a 🤏 of the whole story. 😔
This woman and her elephants have a TH-cam channel. Here, they show daily life at Lek's sanctuary, as well as rescue and transport of additional elephants to the sanctuary. If you want to see more of her and her elephants, click here: th-cam.com/users/elephantnews
Estes adoráveis elefantes ...tenho tanto respeito por esta espécie ..Os seus são magníficos de tanto expressarem algo bom! Pena serem tão mal tratados pelo homem ...não gosto de os ver presos numa forma cruel de os usarem!!
Os seus olhos são tão magníficos ..
💕🙂 so lovely
الراحمون يرحمهم الله
Mashallah she is very good job 👌🤳
Lek is a hero who indeed deserves a noble price for helping these wonderful animals out of there misery caused by humans. The animals suffer the most!!!!! Vegan for life
Empathy should Rule the World!
She looked into his eyes and her life was forever changed. I understand the Spirit of one of Mama Natures sons was crying out to Mama's spirit. She may nit have birthed him but her spirit is like his Mama's cause we give life. Not the gods of men. We and out children from 2 legs to 4 from fins to feathers suffer for it. The animals are our family y'all. Not food. We are all Mama's children.
Please stop killing the elephants and let them live in peace, please and thanks.
When I want to see something nice in this world instead of political lies and deceits and pain and agony I watch Lek and the elephants. I seem to watch a lot of Lek and the elephants. Thank you lek. Thank you elephants.
Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
💗🐘
If you love animal he or she will love you back
Wao
Nice wildlife 👌

But like when elephants start musking they get super aggressive so I don’t think that’s the best idea
❤️
Omg

Could I know the name of the speaker?
