Elephant Cried Tears of Joy After Being Rescued From 73 Years of Sufferings

6SookJai: A Tale of Suffering, pain, sorrow and agony

SookJai is the name of a 74-yr old female elephant that suffered a lot at the hands of her trainers as they made her perform many work tasks along with carrying the tourists on her back and giving them a ride. She has been rescued a year back but before that all those years, she suffered a lot of cruelty. Her handlers kept changing but there was no improvement in her condition and she kept on suffering the severe physical torment.

7Bullhook used on her a lot

After looking at her condition it was absolutely clear that bullhook has been used a lot on her as she was in an injured state with marks of piercing on her head and wounds on her body. The worst part was that the injuries got infected as well, making things tough as at this age, it takes time to heal the wounds.

8Blindness and Deafness

As the elephants age, they tend to lose the sight and their hearing ability also reduces. Sook Jai is completely blind and mostly deaf but she was still going through the torture at this age in this condition. This makes us think and ponder as is really humanity alive because any person who can be so cruel to a 73-yr old, blind and deaf animal can’t be called a human, he is definitely a devil.

9Doubtful about shifting

When the rescue workers from Elephant Nature Park went to Kanchanaburi province, west Thailand to bring her to a new home, she was very doubtful as she must have thought that it is a part of the abuse that she is going under. A lot of time was taken by Sook Jai for entering into the truck and lot of cajoling was done by the rescue workers in order to make her enter the truck.

10The journey to a better life

She seemed to be hungry during the journey but she didn’t eat anything as she was doubtful as to what is happening with her. After a 20 hr journey, she arrived at the Elephant Nature Park and she may have taken time in entering the truck but she came out quite quickly of the truck when she reached the park.
