Saving Baby Elephant and her Mom
Most conservationists believe that man should not meddle with the natural order and that we should allow nature to run her course however cruel or grim it seems to be.
However – every rule has an exception and the dreadful plight of a baby elephant trapped in the mud of the Kapani Lagoon and her mother, who had also got stuck trying to save her yesterday, had us all in a frenzy of activity. We simply could not stand by and watch them struggle and slowly die.

and runs to find her baby and the rest of her waiting herd! The happiest possible ending!
Saving Baby Elephant and her Mom
It was extremely heartening for us all to see how many local people joined in the efforts to free these two elephants – the cheers of joy, first when the baby ran to his cousin and then when Mum was finally released from the jaws of the sticky, cloying mud were wonderful! Everyone seemed to identify with the mum’s plight - we all saw the incredible emotional bond between the worried herd members and mum and baby.
I had not seen this SeaBreeze. It's SO lovely!
I've posted it to my facebook page and I hope it gets passed around...and around...and around!
It tells us much about animals...and some of us. Thank you!
Bently, a 9 month old pot-bellied pig is a resident of the Earth Animal Sanctuary after having a seizure on February 23rd. which put him into shock. He also has bacterial meningitis which is potentially fatal and has left him blind. This kind woman visits him daily, as he becomes very afraid of all the hospital noises around him. Her she is giving him some comfort, and showing him that someone cares.
