Despite enduring both mental and physical abuse from a life of forced breeding, Vana is now on the path to healing. Her recent pregnancy brought challenges, including a tragic stillbirth with complications, but she has already started her treatment at Elephant Nature Park and will receive ongoing medical care.
In this video, we learn from Kanyakorn Kansumaso, the previous registered owner of Sopa, that Sopha used in the logging trade by a previous owner until she was 76 year old. Khun Kanyakorn speaks about the difficulties she had caring for Sopa, who she employed for 6 years at an Elephant Riding attraction near Pattaya in South East Thailand.
Thanks to the unwavering support of Jennifer McCausland through the Centre for a Humane Economy, we now have a beautiful Elephant Rescue vehicle designed specifically for this purpose.
FahMui rescue story from our founder, Lek Chailert :
For every one of Save Elephant Foundation elephant rescues, we do not use a delivery service, so we personally ensure that our new elephant has a comfortable and safe journey by renting a truck and collecting the elephant.
