When she was 8-years old, Soraida Salwala saw an injured elephant lying on the side of the road because a truck hit it. As her family drove past, they heard a gunshot. Soraida asked her father what happened and he said “Uncle Elephant is in heaven now”. She asked, “If the elephant was hurt, why couldn’t he go the hospital?” Not getting an answer she liked, in 1993 Soraida opened the world’s first Asian Elephant Hospital in Thailand, operated by the Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE). To date, she and her staff have treated over 3,000 elephants for everything from knife wounds, gunshot wounds, broken bones and landmine accidents.
Two amazing examples of elephant love are what Soraida and her team did to these two lovely creatures that lost a leg after stepping on a landmine:
48-YEAR-OLD MOTALA
3-YEAR-OLD MOSHA
Thanks to this kind of anonymous hero and her fellow workers, the elephants have an artificial leg now and are looked after, as they should have been by those who planted the mines without caring about the prospective consequences.
THANK GOD THERE ARE ANGELS LIKE THESE ONES!
