This baby was taken cruelly from his family by smugglers so that he could earn money for his captors by being cute on the beach. His mother was probably killed trying to protect him. It is not unusual for Asian elephant smugglers to slaughter 5 adult elephants in order to capture one baby.Once he stops being cute, he will be "trained". The "training methods" used can only be described as torture. Many elephants die during this “training.”
