We healing the angry girl, SookSai to be a gentle and happy elephant with mud therapy.

Tue 17 Feb 15
Elephant Nature Park

Mud therapy today, SookSai came to join our program. See how much she enjoys it. Lek spends a lot of time to follow the elephants that we have rescued. SookSai is one of the aggressive elephants that came to us. She has shown herself many time as the angry girl. We do not blame her as she got so much abuse from humans. We will help to heal and take her back to be gentle again. Love and freedom will help to make the change.

We hope the love and care from our herd will help bring happiness back to her life.
