  • With a weeks worth of preparations and 2 days spent searching the jungle, we were able to rescue Kabu the elephant. It was a 24 hour round trip to bring Kabu from Tak province in West Thailand to Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai. Now Kabu has a fresh start where she will no longer be abused. We and volunteers are very proud of this rescued elephant and honored to provide her with a new life.

    Her story is heartbreaking. I cant comprehend how disgusting some humans are in this world. Forcing her to work with a broken leg, chains, riding her...I have no words. Thank u all for what u do. Thanks for finding her and taking her away from that life.

    Bless you for helping the beautiful elephant. I'll never understand why some people don't want to admit this planet does not belong to just humans. We have a responsibility to assist our neighbors the elephants, they should always be treated with respect and dignity. God Bless the elephant beautiful creatures man should learn from.

    It makes me feel more proud of you when you told those heartless bastards to get OFF her back, like as if she needs more pain, poor girl. Thank you for everything you people do for the elephants. We humans have knowledge and compassion and so we should use it to help other humans and animals. We're not supposed to destroy life.

    I'm so glad these people are helping these majestic, wonderful creatures. Elephants are amazing animals and should never be treated they way they so often are. They are so smart and love their fellow elephants. People should understand that they are much more than "dump animals". They should be loved and cared for by those around them.

    What the hell is wrong with these owners/mahouts...riding her with broken leg, chain around her foot and neck... it makes me furious and sad how owners/mahouts of elephants in Asia mistreat these venerable gentle giants. However, thank you Lek for immediately appoint him to get off her; he wasn't allowed to ride her anymore - thank you so much for rescuing her and all the others from suffering anymore. I'm so thankful for ENP and what you are doing for the world's largest land mammal. Well done!

She's doing very well! She's not in pain; it happened when she was around 2 years old, and she's about 30 now.

      This had to be the FIRST TIME since Phajaan (5-7 days, 24/7, no water, no food, extreme vile constant torture done by men with knives, pickaxes, and sharp hooks, done to her as a shackled young calf to force her to submit to man's abuses), this had to be the FIRST TIME since that, that she has not had a mahout on her neck, lording over her, abusing her. Thank God all of that evil abuse is over!! Imagine her joy at getting to swim WITHOUT some man on her neck, a mahout with a sharp steel bullhook! To swim FREE, what JOY!! (The abusers even ride them into the river when they bathe!!)

    Sweet Kabu, I'm sorry you've had to go through so much at the hands of man. Thankfully, there are some two-legged's that are far different than the kind you've known before. The new ones you've been meeting love you so much, and I rejoice that you now live with them, and can swim, forage, and freely socialize in peace. No more chains, no more bullhooks, no more riders, no more logging, no more bad treatment. Only love, bananas/fruit/good food, mud baths, swimming, and lots of good new friends to treasure you. We love you, Kabu. Blessings and hugs to you. :'/ Sweet peace.
    THANK YOU, LEK, VOLUNTEERS, ENP caretakers, and ENP SPONSORS. THANK YOU FOR RESCUING PRECIOUS KABU and all the others. We thank God for you all. (comment from probably 2015)
    2021 video update >> th-cam.com/video/nAl-1cGsjSI/w-d-xo.html >> shows a FAR improved Kabu walking quickly around ENP behind her adopted daughter, her pride and joy, the love of her life, baby Chana, walking SO MUCH BETTER and faster, her condition greatly improved! It's truly worth watching! It is also joyful to see the happiness in her face, as she keeps up with Chana and tends her. It's fabulous to know that baby Chana was rescued before being forced through Torture Training, so Chana's body and spirit were never broken, and she's joyful and vigorous as every elephant calf should be, secure in her world, and loving her adopted mother Kabu! :) They are both living New lives, joyful and at peace, together, and bringing love and purpose to each other!

    I just left a comment a second ago, and then I went to the top and realize that this posting from the channel is two years old! I agree with others in the comment section that requested more information be provided about the welfare of this beautiful female elephant. Perhaps this channel should have updates every so often, perhaps a compilation, to highlight the progress of these elephants. We know that the majority of them are wounded emotionally and psychologically, and many of them bear obvious physical injuries, too. I know that all the viewers would love to see how these elephants have blossomed under the tender loving care that you provide for them. I know that I am crying now and I would love to be comforted in knowing that these animals are happy and thriving under your gentle, loving, patient care...😇👍🏾🙈🙉🙊

      Here's her March 2021 video, th-cam.com/video/nAl-1cGsjSI/w-d-xo.html
      She's improved SO much, and has found love. :) She adopted a rescued baby elephant, the delight of her eyes, her pride and joy, and tends Chana like she was her own. Kabu is full of life as a result, brimming with purpose and joy! In the new video, we can see that she is much stronger with far greater ease in walking, and is able to walk much faster, actually able to keep up with busy little Chana. We can see the happiness and peace on her face and in her eyes, and restoration to her heart and mind, and its overflow to her body. She's doing SO well! Chana was rescued before being forced through PHAJAAN/Torture Training/ The Crush, so Chana has not suffered, has not been broken or damaged in body or mind, and is thus strong in energy of joy and vigor, a busy, active little elephant, secure in her world, tended by Kabu's attention and love. They bring so much to each other, their bond is beautiful! :)
      Kabu's injury/break occurred when she was 2 years old, and she is now 30, and they say she's not in pain. Her leg/foot healed, albeit wrongly, because the abusers didn't set it or tend it. It is healed, however, and nothing can effectively be done at this point, other than the big improvements that she has gained since her rescue. Thankfully, her overall condition is significantly improved, as is her strength and walking ability, together with the restoration of her heart, mind and will, along with peace. So she and Chana are living a very good life, not wild, but free and cared for, happy and fulfilled. Kabu doesn't live in the past, she's very busy in the present, loving and rejoicing in her baby. We should share her joy. :)

      See her new video, March 2021 th-cam.com/video/nAl-1cGsjSI/w-d-xo.html , she's made BIG improvements. She's significantly stronger, walking with far greater ease and speed, is in much better condition, showing a countenance of happiness and contentment, and she's found love! She adopted a rescued baby elephant, the delight of her eyes and her pride and joy, and it's impressive how invigorated she is to be able to keep up with energetic Chana. Chana has brought great restorative energy to her adoptive mom, love and joy, and Kabu's face shows that restoration, as does her body and walk. I am so impressed. Of course, the old injury is still visible, but so much improvement has been made! Thankfully, Chana was rescued before being forced through PHAJAAN/Torture Training/The Crush, so Chana hasn't suffered, has not been damaged, traumatized or broken, so her body, mind and Will are strong, vital and intact, joyful, confident and energetic, full of vigor and life, having no fear, and no loss of peace! She brings so much to Kabu, and Kabu pours out her love and attention on Chana. Their bond is beautiful, they are safe and at peace, living joyfully together. We can rejoice with them! :)
      People easily claim that they love, while most don't know what love is, or what it looks or acts like. The elephants know, however, and they know how to love.

      Kabu's elephant leg healed incorrectly when she was about 2 years old. Kabu is now about 30 years old, and surgery would be ineffective, high risk to her health and life, dangerous. She's walking so much better now, she's stronger and is in better condition, living in peace and safety at ENP. She also adopted a baby elephant that was rescued, so now the calf has a mother in Kabu, and Kabu's heart has been restored by baby Chana's presence in her life! She's living a new life, they both are!

      No, they have talked about this elsewhere. They don't want to put her through that surgery. The bone has healed in this shape. She was 2 when it happened and 25 when she was rescued (in this video). Also, many of the elephants at ENP have injuries from working in logging, trekking, and begging and could use a number of surgeries. People do awful things to them ranging from just very poor care (making them stand on concrete for hours in the hot sun w/no mud to cover their skin) to shooting them in the eyes with a slingshot because they didn't cooperate. There is one with a hip that looks dislocated when she walks. It costs a ton to rescue, feed them, and give them medical care. I think they would rather rescue another elephant than do the surgery.

      The injury/break occurred when she was about 2 years old; she was rescued about the age of 25, and now she's 30. The break healed incorrectly long ago, and it would be ineffective for them to try to surgically improve it. She has improved a lot since this video, she's stronger and faster in walking with far greater ease, and has experienced a great deal of restoration due to the peace, safety and now love in her life. She has adopted a rescued elephant calf, and is able to keep up with baby Chana, as she tends her as if Chana were her own. Chana is the delight of her eyes, and has brought great restoration to Kabu's heart and mind, and to her body as well. Kabu is doing REALLY well! Here's a fresh video (March of 2021), that shows them both, as Chana leads her adoptive mother around ENP. th-cam.com/video/nAl-1cGsjSI/w-d-xo.html

      in a video on ENP, they talk about this elephant & how it happened while very young & it has completely healed that way. She is not in pain anymore. It definitely was painful when it happened, but not anymore. Just like breaking a normal bone for humans...most of us just get casts to let it heal correctly, but if we were not able to get one, it'd heal..just incorrectly & look disfigured like so. Again, because it has 100% healed, it is far too late for them to do anything about it. They could cut off her foot but that'd probably cause a great deal of pain & money.
