We can all agree it’s basically a dream situation to be rescued by a baby elephant, especially if you didn’t really need rescuing in the first place.

Instead, you just end up being assured a baby elephant loves you and wants you to be okay.

The Save Elephant Foundation in Chiang Mai, Thailand captured little Kham Lha racing to the aid of Darrick Thomson, the co-founder of the foundation and one of her favorite people ever.

Thomson was calling out to her on the shore, and she interpreted his calls as distress cries (he was totally fine, though).

Kham Lha charged through the water, sheltering him with her body and offering her trunk for him to hold on to.

The staff told CNN Thomson helped rescue Kham La and her mother, Bai Teoy, in 2015.

“Since he rescued Kham La, he spent time to heal her from the mental [anguish] and has shown love to her,” the staff said. “It’s not long after that, she [made a] strong bond with him and accepted him to be part of her herd.”

Well by that logic we should be very careful given how many deer are killed in the USA annually

Should we cull humans in response?

You’re applauding humans being killed by elephants because humans kill elephants

Why stop with deer?

Cows?

Chickens?

Soon there will be no humanity left

Animal veneration has its limits

But.... at the end of the video what you do not see is the elephant eats the man. Yep elephants are carnivores...

Stating a fact is not applauding anything, especially the loss of human life. It was just a very mild joke, akin to what you posted. Unless you were just trying to keep this thread from turning into a morass of awwwws?
