Elephant rescued after over 80 years in shackles

The worst kind of living is in captivity. Unfortunately, a lot of animals suffer from this fate as a result of human cruelty. Grandma Somboon, an elephant who was kept in captivity for more than 80 years, is one of them.

After being rescued from the wild as a calf, this unfortunate animal has lived her entire life transporting tourists and entertaining at shows.

The Save Elephant Foundation in Thailand, a group that advocates for captive elephants, eventually took notice of Somboon.

The rescue posted on Facebook last year, saying, “We’re on a rescue mission to protect Somboon and transport her to her final true home.” “It’s time for Grandma to be cared for well and allowed to rest.”

Their mission to finally give the lovely animal the life she has always deserved was accomplished quickly.

Somboon was taken to the Elephant Nature Park sanctuary after being released from his shackles.
It did not, however, mean that her ordeal was over.

Unfortunately, her body and health suffered as a result of years of neglect and hard work.

She was severely dehydrated, emaciated, missing a tooth, and her eyes were blurry, and she still had a long way to go before she fully recovered.

“Upon arrival, many new elephants, still plagued by paranoia and lack of trust, take weeks before they will lie down,” the rescue wrote.

“However, Grandma Somboon defied the norm. Exhausted from her journey and a lifetime of hardship, she promptly sought the sand pile prepared for her, sleeping soundly amidst the bustling activities around her.”

After being brought to her new haven, Somboon immediately lay down and rested because she was worn out from the difficult life she had led for more than 80 years.

She was able to sleep without her ancles being chained for the first time in eight decades.

She was able to adapt, despite her rescuers’ fears that she wouldn’t.

Every day, Somboon makes progress that surprises everyone.

Life felt good again for this poor elephant.

The existence of rescue organizations that provide abused and neglected animals with a fresh start makes us very happy.
