"Lek was spending some time with ThongAe and family, and she spotted FaaMai in the distance, who was on her way to investigate the flooded river. Calling out, FaaMai immediately turned toward the one whom she loves more than anyone else. The bond between an elephant and a human can certainly be punitive, and the relationship based on fear, as are almost all venues that engage tourists with elephants; or the relationship can be like this, derived from respect and loving care. It is a Choice. What is more winsome to your heart? Choose Sanctuary over Subjugation."

For they are highly social animals who feel pain, express emotions, and are highly intelligent.

never subjected to the cruelties that the rescued elephants, including her mother, went through. This is Lek singing her a lullaby back in 2014.
And 2016.
She's never too old for Lek to sing her to sleep.
