One of my favorite parts of my trip to Thailand was getting to interact with these beautiful rescued elephants 🥹❤️ We made sure to visit elephants from an ethical sanctuary, where they were rescued from horrible conditions, being forced to carry tourists on their backs for 15+ hours a day for photos. Some of them even have missing tails as they were cut off by poachers to make rings to sell to tourists 😣Now they live freely in a sanctuary where they are healthy and cared for, and most importantly, no one is allowed to ride them - only hug them and feed them and watch them thrive 🙏🏼
