Hundreds of people joined rescue elephants in the streets as they headed to their new home.
Two elephants – SomBoon, a pregnant 30-year-old elephant, and Sri Nuan, a 50-year-old elephant were rescued.
The rescue elephants were ready to move to their new home at the Samui Elephant Haven in Thailand.
But, it was too difficult to move such massive animals.
So, the rescuers decided to walk the animals along the 12-mile and they embarked on a 10-hour journey.
Dozens of villagers and tourists joined the rescuers to walk the elephants to their new home.
Some of the food vendors offered fruits and water to the elephants.
According to GoodNewsNetwork, Mango Yordbear, a UK traveler, said: “It was so exciting, I got goosebumps all over – the hairs just stood up.
It was an electric feeling. It was so beautiful.”
The rescue elephants arrived at the sanctuary after walking for 10 hours.
Thanks to the hundreds of strangers who helped walk the animals to their new home.
A video of the journey was shared online which went viral and received positive comments from the users.
One wrote: ‘Is so exciting to see this enormous act of kindness ? hugs from the American continent.’
Another wrote: ‘WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER ALL AROUND THE WORLD TO SAVE THESE GORGEOUS BEINGS AND RHINOS TOO!!!! We can all do it if we pull together.’
The third one wrote:‘Thanks to every one of you good people’
This is so beautiful! Hats off to the strangers who joined to walk the animals to their new home.
