All animals deserve freedom!
We all do
Well except for.....I'm just kidding, you're right
Except pit bulls
Yeah, freedom to roam around inside my belly
Roam free in the condition of the earth now? Are you dumb? 🤨 Sanctuaries, protection reserves, etc . Are necessary sometimes to save and protect them from their greatest enemy which is humans. Humans who can easily kill and poach them in the wild.
We don't own this planet... we are here together with all of them, part of them. Simply...
30% of humans see the planet and the creayon it as theirs to do as they please Selfish Humans
💯👏👏👏
You are absolutely right and we are doing our part with all the support from you guys
I agree there is no shortage of cruelty with people chaining up these peaceful giant beauties. This planet belongs to the elephants also. They existed way b/4 lazy cruel men, who do nothing but destroy the beautiful majestic animals that belong here. Leave them be. Thank the best of humanity for helping. Without your genuine compassion no one would be safe. Keep going forward with your God given talents to save the elephants. Tell us what we need to do to help. AMEN 🙏
Couldn't agree more ❤
Yes, yes, PLEASE rescue more. They don't deserve to be chained, left to suffering harm at those who abuse them. Elephants 🐘 are too majestic to be so mistreated.
We rescued a 2nd elephant and we are gearing up for our 3rd rescue :)
Yes..let them be freed from a life in chains
@@unchainedelephants Wonderful work! Mother and I have always loved 🐘elephants and seals. Just wish more people did work as yourselves. Thank you, so much. You made my day.😃
Saving a unit does not solve anything - it is necessary to influence the problem as a whole and the education of children in the ideas of humanism.
@@user-jb6wn9dx3zThis! Im so glad Kanoon was saved, but they’ll no doubt replace him with another elephant. How do we solve the real problem??? 💔
I'm happy Kanoon was rescued...but the ending was just 😢
so sad.. why..😭😭😭
it was devastating news but we gave him his last 3 months of freedom
@@jhonnicholasnathanielheap9095he was full of lumps and bumps . Saw it at first glance. Probably the only reason they gave him away. 😢
Who is giving "David Greg", the resident romance scammer LIKES??
I hate to say this to you. Thailand alone has thousands of work labour elephants in that condition. they used to move log trees in the jungle and more. The Thai people have lived with elephants together for generations and that can't never change. the only reason locals sell that elephant to this group is because the elephant is in bad condition or is not suitable for a job anymore.
Once you hear an elephant "purr", wow, it's game over. Tear of joy for Kanoon who has sadly passed, and a thousand blessings on the team that bought his freedom.
Purr, roam freely, take muth bahts (on their own) it is really amazing
Amazing 👏 Bravo 👏 ❤❤❤❤Love these beautiful elephants 🐘....PLEASE rescue More!!!!
I’m so glad Kanoon felt safety and freedom before he crossed the rainbow bridge. RIP beautiful boy ❤️ ❤️
❤🐘😊 he had his last 3 month in freedom, RIP King Kanoon
@unchainedelephants Such a huge fan of what you do, my favorite animal is the elephant! 🐘 ❤️
@@unchainedelephants - how did Kanoon pass away? He looked healthy at the sanctuary.
@@kevinp8108probably older age, especially given the life of being tortured as a baby elephant (calf) and the hard backbreaking work in the timber industry, so they don’t tend to live as long as an Elephant that hasn’t been exploited by humans. But I’m sure Kanoon didn’t focus on the past but on the freedom and joy of being a free elephant, although they never forget someone who hurts them, they also never forget those that treat them well, whether in the wild or in captivity.
@@kevinp8108 He looked like he had tumours all over him.
Thank you kind people 😅
Yes, we couldn't have done it without all the support of our followers, especially since it was our 1st elephant rescue.
Yes Please keep rescuing Elephants! What a beautiful story, I am so sorry he passed away, but he's Free !!!! And was Free and Free from the chains because of you wonderful people. Remember that Elephant's Never Forget ! You saved him. Elephant's should NEVER EVER be chained up! They All need to be Free. God Bless All of you!!!!!
Thank you Stacy! we will keep working to improve the elephant welfare.
GOD BLESS ALL INVOLVED!!! FREEDOM FOR ONE MORE MAJESTIC CREATURE!!!. OSKAR LOWANNA NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA 🦣🦣❤ 🇦🇺🦘🦘❤
Poor Kanoon I’m glad he was freed from labor,rest easy big boy 🥺❤️🙏🏻
It was extremely sad news but as you mentioned, he had hist last 3 months of freedom
Yeah im sure he’s roaming the plains in Heaven now.
i did not see it coming...😭😭😭😭😭 RIP Kanoon. We love you.!!!
Yes, sad twist at the end but he his last 3 months of freedom 🙌
@@unchainedelephants - how did Kanoon pass away? He did not look that old. Elephants live as long as humans.
@kevinp8108 That's what I would like to know, too. I was like, what the heck?!😮
I am so glad Kanoon experienced love, care, and freedom before his passing. ❤
He was in one of the best elephant sanctuaries in Thailand. Lots of love and care on his last 3 months of freedom
@@unchainedelephants Hello! Have you been to this sanctuary?
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much!.....So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
The Dodo thank you so much guys for featuring our first elephant rescue story ❤❤😊 From the moment we got your email, it was a dream come true. 💝🙏🏽💝🙏🏽💝🙏🏽 from all of us. Daniel, Vicki, Susan and the rest of our team.
You folks are the true heroes of this story. Thank you for getting Kanoon out of his chains, no matter how briefly, and for working to get more of these magnificent beings free.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
@@buddhacat422 ❤🩹❤
You all help restore humanity ✌️💚
Kanoon passed away on November 12, 2023. Three months after his freedom. I too was heartbroken at the ending.
so sad ! it's awful
What happen to him. Is it because of his tumour by his left hind leg.
@@weeleelim7456From what I've read it looks like his leg swelled up as well as his tongue and they were thinking it might have been a poisonous snake. I also found this at the The Elephant Database: "We noticed a sudden and dramatic decline in his condition yesterday and were consulting with the veterinarians from TECC." "Kanoon was refusing to eat and struggling to walk… He slowly lay himself down on the ground and within minutes his breathing stopped." Still unknown.
@@weeleelim7456I read that it may have been a snake bite but when I last looked it said unknown.
thanks to all animal rescuers.
Thank you but we couldn't have done it without the support of all our supporters
At least he was able to have a little happiness before he passed.
you are 100% right!
A lot of human beings love exploiting animals it’s sad. Especially in the food industry…Glad there’s some people out there with hearts like these great folks. RIP Kanoon!
Thanks Harry🙏
That ending though.
Right?
It was really sad indeed 😪
Beautiful - and painful. Our struggle to be more than selfish beasts continues. Thanks to the rescuers. You are the best of us.
Thank you for your kind words, but we did it with the support of many people that helped us raising the funds 🙏
@@unchainedelephants Yes indeed. My gratitude is for all who support this work.
People of Thailand need to be educated about what cruelty means and to do the loggimg themselves! Thank you for what you do for our friends ❤
Agreed, our goal is also to educate in tourism and to put elephant welfare at the forefront, there are too few real ethical sanctuaries.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much!.....So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
You said they should do the logging themselves, but the logs are probably too heavy for people to carry, so they use elephants. I wish they could afford to buy trucks instead, and free the elephants.
I am blessed to have known Kanoon for these few short minutes, may he rest in peace.
Thanks for your kind words, yes he is roaming free up above us 🥰
Love these stories about saving the elephants from a horrific life bound by chains! Thank you for saving this beautiful animal 🐘❤
❤🐘😊
How anyone can treat another living being like that breaks my heart. Whoever changed that boy up is more of an animal than Kanoon. I hope he enjoyed his final days of freedom. Bless his heart. ❤
The reality of hundreds of elephants is extremely sad but we will make an impact in the welfare of the elephants
it's the same for farm animals.
Slavery is still happening.
@@NMN_CP Exactly. We used to chain up horses to go to the store because humans can't walk that far or carry that much and we don't want our horses leaving us stranded by running off. Now we have cars which means less manure but horses are out of the economy, left to racing and performances for people to win ribbons (and the unnecessary injuries that result from these forms of entertainment). We round up wild horses to prevent them from eating grass that we want to leave for the cows that are still in our economy. At least that elephant was still part of the economy. You don't want to see animals that are no longer needed by humans.
In memory.😢 R.I.P. big boy.
He’s our beacon of hope for the future of more elephants in chains who will need us all x ❤🩹🐘
🙏Happy he lived out the rest of life free and happy
yes, a bitter sweet situation, he enjoyed his last 3 months of freedom at least🤗
I’m so happy you were able to rescue him I cried when you got the chains off and seeing him in the water enjoying life thank you for sharing
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much!.....So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
Thank you. God bless you 🙏
We couldn't have done it without the support of our followers! 🤗
Amazing people!!! It's so cruel that Kanoon being chained for too long but luckily he met you guys. I believe that he is happy in heaven now and the moment you guys saved him, it's the best day of his life. Hope that you guys will keep rescue more elephant so they can have a free and happy life. God bless everyone ❤ ❤ ❤
He must be so happy
We wish he’d had more time to enjoy his freedom. He’s our beacon of hope for the future of more elephants in chains who will need us all x ❤🩹🐘
You guy really did an amazing job ❤Thanks for saving them@@unchainedelephants

He knew and he was waiting!!
There such beautiful majestic creatures

Beautiful people for a beautiful cause.

So emotional watching beautiful Kanoon finally enjoy freedom. Live your best life from now on Kanoon 🐘💕
No words just a HUGE HUG.
Thank you, a HUGE hug back 🥰

He adapted so fast, because they all deserve kindness and react quickly to it 😊❤❤❤❤
Simply, thank you!🐘❤

Thank you for saving that sweet elephant ❣️❣️❣️❣️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
thank you so much! ❤❤❤ We would not have had it any other way.
Thank goodness he accepted their help. Good boy, Kanoon 🐘!
Woo hoo! Another beautiful Ellie saved!💖🕊
It is so moving to see an elephant rescued and able to live in freedom and dignity. Thank you to all those who do this amazing work 🙏💖🐘
Thakns but we couldn't have done it without the support from our community! 🤗
I'm glad Kanoon was able to live freely and enjoy happiness before passing. What makes me even more upset is that the owner will do the same thing to another elephant or animal. I wish they would make a Planet of the Elephants movie, humans need to see and experience what they put these animals through even if it's fictional.
God bless the sanctuary & the rescuers for helping this Elephant
Thanks for your kind words but we couldn't have done it without the support from all our community! 🤗
Dear soul. I wish him much freedom for the rest of his life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Elephants are so beautiful.
How anyone could not see how smart these animals are??? Thank you he did deserve a better life.
It's people like you that gives us all hope... thank you!
So sad 😢 you guys are so nice 👍🏻

@@christineroberts6972 You're better off not to respond to the scammer and *REPORT* him.
Whoever kept him locked up for all of those years should take his place😊
Love that the sanctuary is called BLES! How apropos! 🥰😍🐘
Yes, Amazing Sanctuary one of the few truly ethical sanctuaries in Thailand
I’m so happy you all were able to give him some light at the end of his road…❤❤❤…so sorry he’s gone, but so happy he got to experience that happiness, freedom and company of fellow elephants and loving people…❤❤❤❤❤
It is truly heartwarming to read all these comments truly! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽❤🐘😊
RIP :(
God bless you sweet, precious, majestic Kanoon! You’re now running around in Heaven, and we will see you soon!💜💜 God bless the people and sanctuary for rescuing him and allowing him to live out the rest of his life happy, playing, and in peace. I’m hoping you’re able to rescue many more!💜🙏🏻✝️

Thanks for caring.

Free = Dead
Thank you for the update, The Dodo..!! Rest in peace, Kanoon..!! :(
It's so awesome to see him living his best life:) The heart-shaped fruit buffet was very touching, too.
It's that contrast between us humans. Ones who abuse animals for their own benefit and others who free them out of sheer love.
All creatures on the earth deserve respect,love and freedom
Thank You Everyone ❤❤❤❤❤ Blessed that we have such Amazing People.

Happy Kanoon glad he knew freedom. Keep saving elephants. Wish you could save Asha she was at a roadside zoo in Natural Bridge and before raided to save animals he sold him to someone in Florida. She deserves to be living a wonderful life in a sanctuary free.
Tears. God bless those who love and help his creatures. 😊🙏
