Me as well. This brought tears to my eyes!! Thank God for catherine!! This video was very sad , and beautiful and breathtaking all at the same time. :))
There's a glimmer of hope for Thailand's abused elephants thanks to Katherine Connor, founder of the Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary. This is her story ...
Earth Touch I know some "use" the animals to beg, as exampled early in this video...basically they're simply using the resources available to them to improve upon their poverty...but hell.... Poor bastards, elephant and human alike...but I can't believe they made the elephant with a broken leg work like that!
Amazing. There should be more places out there like that. They don't belong in circus and other places. Beautiful sanctuary! The world could learn something from what she is doing !
Katherine Connor, you are an amazing gal for managing to establish this wonderful sanctuary for these gentle giants. I know that you are already being blessed & loved by the pachyderms you saved. I hope that you will be able to rescue many more elephants in the near future from their sorrowful plights which they are trapped in. May I suggest that you add more you tubes of these Majestic animals together with addresses given to the public, so if some one who may like to donate some funds would be able to do so easily...
Thank you Katherine for your big heart and patiently teaching people not to abuse our fellow beings. So happy other elephant sanctuaries are opening now i.e. Lek's Elephant Nature Park.
thank you so much for your generous heart, Katherine. What you are doing for these magnificent, intelligent beings is priceless. I don't know where you are located but I guess you have also heard of Lek and her Elephant Nature Park north of Chiang Mai? She started her sanctuary in 1998, since then she has opened several others in Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar, each time involving the local population that would otherwise lose their income through the loss of their elephant. Wishing you well on your important journey for the benefit and well-being of the gentle and oh so courageous giants.
LOVE Boon Lott's, thank you Katherine for dedicating your life to saving these elephants from slavery and provide them with a happy, healthy retirement, where they can receive the proper physical and mental care they deserve!
+Tim Rubin Halcomb i agree with you i love seeing videos like this!It is nice to see elephants rescued!Elephants are big animals and they dont deserve abuse.
THIS is a beautiful place, full of compassion and love for elephants. This one and Elephant Nature Park are the ONLY 'sanctuaries' I would want to visit in Thailand. Most of the others are simply tourist traps making money off gullible humans, usually at the expense of the elephants.
First time I saw some good people with elephants................. I was longing to see such a video. God bless all the elephants in the sanctuary and all those elephants who are still to come here. These elephants are the luckiest domestic ones I've ever seen................
I wish you would not say you're the only one Katherine. I applaud what you do but to discount Lek's elephant nature park is in poor taste. Please be careful what you say. Do no harm. Thank you dear.
Firstly, thank you for doing this. Secondly, not only was Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai established with exactly the same ethos 20 years before you, Lek is very forthcoming in helping other sanctuaries with the same aims, objectives and operational ethos to start up in Kanchanaburi, Laos, and Cambodia. A generosity of spirit that you could learn from Katherine, rather than claiming something that is simply not true.
4:33 is breathtaking! So majestic! I know you said you couldn’t find any “Real Sanctuaries” however Lek and Darrick of ENP have been around now for 15 years. Do you know of and another? You would be so amazing in cooperation together! Thank you for all you do! You are truly restoring my faith in humanity! Blessings!
Looking forward to more places just like this for abused elephants although ultimately zero abuse in the first place, rather that all people in Thailand and globally treat not only all elephants but all animals with respect, dignity and care, starting with respect for oneself. The way we feel about ourselves is the way we treat others people and animals.
Yo solo quiero que esas personas si es que. Se le puede decir así porque para mí son perros ojalá que les hagan lo mismo que ellos. Le hacen alos elefantes
I love you Katherine for loving and protecting these amazing gentle giants! You’re a saint! Do you and Lek from ENP know one another? What an amazing collaboration you would have together! Thank you again for all you do! God bless you all richly in Jesus Name Amen!
Thank you very so much save for elephants from heartless owners and our life's save & safety now.your heart💓is big heart your caring is lovely caring thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Katherine Connor is smart to help this. I would if I was older. Too many people are unaware of local elephant riding businesses in Thailand no matter what they say.
This is a great video. Katherine Conors, you and your staff are doing wonderful great things for these Elephants. You've given them a new life filled with love and happiness. Thank you for everything you do. You are a very special person.
500 are only wild and free ? And 2.500 in chains and abused, dying from their injuries and mental suffering ? There were 300.000 not long time ago. It’s urgent to bread the young and healthy ones. Many thanks Catherine for your courage and heart.
Considering Lek and Darrick have been running a elephant sanctuary for many years now so this would be another sanctuary. The good thing is that Lek has been teaching owners about how to care for their elephants and even to surrender them to ENP, they were the first sanctuary to have volunteer weeks with the tourists where they stay and care for them, they even get to pay for the privilege of working with these gentle beasts. So I don't know whether this lady has been in contact with Lek on how to care and run a sanctuary for elephants, it does not matter whether it is large or small it is a haven for these eles, well done and kudos to you Katherine.
Where's the best platform to post this video to tourists who are thinking/ planning to visit so-called elephant "sanctuary" in countries like Thailand? Many tourists do not understand the devastating consequences of paying money for elephant rides, visiting elephant zoos, participate in various entertainments performed by elephants.
Good thinking! There are many online travel forums where some people check beforehand to become familiar with activities to do. I would suggest posting the video or a link to it there, just search Thailand Travel tips and stuff like that on Google and some sites should come up!
True but this is not about who was first, anyone working toward the elephants well-being or rescue is priceless and hard needed. I only wish that one day those people decide to get together to work together but above all to rally to put pressure on their gvt that refuses so far to support them, because some of the owners are influential politicians or businessmen
Thank you for caring for them and giving them a safe home. They are such majestic creatures! It's sad that they aren't safe in their natural environment and need to be watched by humans! Got this movie trailer with a strong message against brutality and killing of elephants by poachers - ua-cam.com/video/6b6QfkdX1_8/v-deo.html
Hey, loved this teaser! I'm a big time animation fan and I find this is the most entertaining and effective way to spread awareness towards such an important issue! We need fast action to save this fabulous majestic species from heading towards extinction!
This brought tears to my eyes. God Bless the work of Catherine. ❤ ❤
Me as well. This brought tears to my eyes!! Thank God for catherine!! This video was very sad , and beautiful and breathtaking all at the same time. :))
Katherine big hug to you for being able to do this for these elephants. You are an amazing woman!

God Bless, Katherine Connor and the work she does for these majestic creatures at her sanctuary.
The earth,trees, plants and animals are all manifastations of God. We should love them as we love our own self. Ammachi
I don't believe in the religions the humans have, but yes, you are right Anne de Wit.
Thank you for rescuing these beautiful creatures
Very enlightened lady to help these majestic creatures. Getting people to work for them is nothing short of genius!
Amazing. There should be more places out there like that. They don't belong in circus and other places. Beautiful sanctuary! The world could learn something from what she is doing !

BEES elephant sanctuary in Mae Chaem also rescue elderly elephants from the tourist trade 😊
First time I saw some good people with elephants.................
I was longing to see such a video. God bless all the elephants in the sanctuary and all those elephants who are still to come here. These elephants are the luckiest domestic ones I've ever seen................
Thank you for helping them
Elephant Nature Park (Lek Chailert) in Chiang Mai has been running a wonderful sanctuary for years.
I wish you would not say you're the only one Katherine. I applaud what you do but to discount Lek's elephant nature park is in poor taste. Please be careful what you say. Do no harm. Thank you dear.

Do you know of and another?
You would be so amazing in cooperation together!
Thank you for all you do!

That would be great. The abuse in Thailand is horrendous.
She’s beautiful.

God Bless you for saving these poor animals.
Im crying right now of the injured elephant.😭😭😭😭😭

Yo solo quiero que esas personas si es que. Se le puede decir así porque para mí son perros ojalá que les hagan lo mismo que ellos. Le hacen alos elefantes
I love you Katherine for loving and protecting these amazing gentle giants!
You’re a saint!
Do you and Lek from ENP know one another? What an amazing collaboration you would have together!
Thank you again for all you do!
God bless you all richly in Jesus Name Amen!

Thank you
Thank you BLES for what you do for those poor eles.
Amazing! Keep up the good work :) If I ever go to Thailand, I will visit this elephant sanctuary and no other
Heaven for abused elephants.
Thank you very much beautiful Lady!
Katherine, you rock!! 💜
Such a wonderful video! Such profound work. Thank you x
500 are only wild and free ? And 2.500 in chains and abused, dying from their injuries and mental suffering ? There were 300.000 not long time ago. It’s urgent to bread the young and healthy ones. Many thanks Catherine for your courage and heart.
this literally made me cry
Elephant Nature Park (www.elephantnaturepark.org) is also a good elephant sanctuary in Thailand
Absolutely inspired by this video and will be planning to come next year to help :)
bless your heart! Katherine!
It breaks my heart to see elephants treated like this!
ร้องไห้นะด้วยความสงสาร. และยิิ้มด้วยความดีใจที่ช้างไม่ต้องถูกล่ามโซ่อีกต่อไปและยิ้มที่คนทั่วโลกให้ความรักความสำคัญต่อช้างเมืองไทยอุดมสมบูรณ์จิตใจมีเมตตาและกำลังเต็มไปด้วยความรักขอกราบขอบคุณแทนพวกเขาด้วยครับ

Amazing Video thanks for posting it, I have subscribed a while ago.
Katherine Conner 💛What a Beautiful Lady You are, Inside and out 👍💛
Hi..you guys very good person and mercy Elephant 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had seen this video last week before going on an elephant ride in Phuket. I will never rode an elephant again. Thank you for the video
What? Did you not see the cruelty? Are you blind?
Elephant Nature Park, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, founded by Lek Chailert, existed LONG before 2005.
this is good stuff. i love this. thank you very much. im all for wild life.. hoping i can go see in person some day
I hope the viewers of this video will pay attention and become more responsible tourist.
Good bless you!

Bless her heart.
Where can I sign up to Dave these wonderful creations
❤❤❤
Love this video :)
the elephant nature park is really good park
Translation: The world and elephants would be better off without any humans!
You are great mam
Tourists MUST BOYCOTT any elephant abuse. No riding them etc etc.
All the dislikes are from heartless people
Damn these abusers! I hope they get what's coming to them. 😡
It is not correct that this is the first sanctuary in Thailand. So it is not a tourist attraction, but tourists can stay there. What does that mean?
Where's the best platform to post this video to tourists who are thinking/ planning to visit so-called elephant "sanctuary" in countries like Thailand? Many tourists do not understand the devastating consequences of paying money for elephant rides, visiting elephant zoos, participate in various entertainments performed by elephants.

ELEPHANT NATURE PARK has been around since 1996... FYI...Lek started doing this WAY before this woman did.
True but this is not about who was first, anyone working toward the elephants well-being or rescue is priceless and hard needed. I only wish that one day those people decide to get together to work together but above all to rally to put pressure on their gvt that refuses so far to support them, because some of the owners are influential politicians or businessmen
Poor Elephants :(
But not at BLES! They are the very luckiest elephants.
There was no elephant sanctuary before? wasn't ENP there before she came in?
Yes it was, she is not telling the truth. ENP was founded in 1995
give hope about human beings! Painful to be an animal on this earth!
Thank you for caring for them and giving them a safe home. They are such majestic creatures! It's sad that they aren't safe in their natural environment and need to be watched by humans! Got this movie trailer with a strong message against brutality and killing of elephants by poachers - ua-cam.com/video/6b6QfkdX1_8/v-deo.html

Diolch am bawb sy'n helpu eliffantod!
Any sanctuary's in Bangkok or Phuket? I am going next month and I would love to visit one!
До чего довели животных нелюди ,
