Windy, the film so far is just beautiful, esp. Soraida. I also appreciate the captioning as I have experienced some hearing loss.

Thank you so much for doing this. Jody

It is very moving. I am an animal lover myself and cannot withstand cruelty against animals. Very nice to see someone being the voice of those who cannot speak for themselves. God will bless you for this.

For a grown elephant, it's crucial to have a balanced prosthese...so I learned.

The unbalanced weight will damage the whole structure of the elephant.

Of course an elephant like this would not survive in the wild, but it's good to build up experience with this kind of real live examples.
