Heartfelt video of baby elephant playing around with man
This is just one way of seeing the innocence and beauty of animals...
Not every animal story you hear is positive, but that's neither here nor there when it comes to judging them.
Because just as you and I have issues with trust and with having a bad day, so too do animals.
And sometimes we do not give them that. We use and abuse them, and then judge them when they act following their natural instincts.

But there are still those people who believe in the sanctity of connecting with animals and fighting for their rights.
One such person is a filmmaker by the name of Andrew Malcolm.
He recently shared an old video of his interaction with mama elephant Maenoi and her baby, Sandy.

He advocates for the elephants and their caregivers. For Maenoi and her baby, who are chained for their own safety, believe it or not, it is about showing them love and support.
It is also about showing the elephant's caregiver's support. There is international pressure to make sure that practices such as elephant chair rides and shows end.
