R.I.P. Mae Mai, the beautiful elephant who died from a hornet attack

In memory of Mae Mai the trekking elephant who work at the trekking camp near by our sanctuary . Mae Mai is the young mother elephant who died last week from a Hornet attack while she was chained under the tree and could not defend herself or run away. Her calf [1 1/2 years old] who was not chained ran from that place and survived. It is a tragedy and sad to lose such a beautiful life. It also sad that she have left her little baby while he still nurse. In nature, elephants know how to live and survive, but in this case their life is controlled and limited by human ‘management’.
