The baby’s momma had probably been killed. Not only was this baby elephant alone and starving, but she also had a bullet wound on her side.

The good news is that she is now in safe hands and getting treated. Please don’t buy products with palm oil. If the demand falls, maybe the destruction of the rain forests will stop.
