Sook Jai was crying during her rescue Elephant News

We went to see about Sook Jai four months ago after a friend told us her story, and he could no longer think of her carrying on to work when she was blind, deaf and old. She deserved better than this, and to be free from harm. Sook Jai s life is much the same as every captive elephant, working many different jobs over the course of their lives, some more arduous than others, all an affront to their dignity. Sook Jai s life passed through the hands of a number of men. She moved from job to job and from one place to another, working relentlessly until falling down.
