Thailand: “Grandma Elephant” fell asleep immediately after 80 years of working for humans in the rescue operation: she finally rested
The Thai elephant named "Somboon" was captured when she was young, and since then she has been used by humans continuously for 80 years. Recently, the animal rescue group approached and successfully rescued it. After being rescued, it slept soundly.
Somboon was captured by humans in the wild as a baby. Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of her nightmare. For more than 80 years, Somboon has worked in the logging and tourism industries,every day helping to transport wood and tourists.
As soon as he was rescued and arrived at the care center, he saw the pile of sand reserved for him and lay down to sleep soundly. Normally it takes other elephants a few weeks to get used to their new home, but this is a special case, perhaps it is too tired.
When Somboon was rescued, she was very thin. In addition to losing her tusks, her skin was dry and peeling, her toenails were also weak due to age. After an hour of deep sleep, Mrs. Elephant could not stand up on her own. strong>, with help, she got back on her feet.
Somboon has worked hard for most of her life, and now she can finally eat nutritious meals, take leisurely walks, and take mud baths and spas anytime and anywhere. She no longer needs to work hard for humans and begins to enjoy the relaxing days of rest that it longs for.
