Chain Free Means Pain Free
Stepping out of chains for the last time has a profound impact on an elephant's life. An older elephant named Oma Kali experienced chain-free life for the first time last year but, sadly, died recently. Carol writes about her loss:
In April of 2015, Oma Kali, a crippled senior elephant,
was given the greatest gift: she was released from chains and given a 4-acre chain-free corral. Joined by 62-year-old Sundar Mala, the two became instant friends. What a joy to see two wild-caught elephants, who had spent decades living alone in chains, in service to man, finally experiencing relative freedom and family.
But Oma Kali died only weeks ago. Her life force peacefully slipped away in the company of Sundar Mala, the only real friend she had ever known.
Sundar Mala grieved the loss of her dear friend for days, not eating or drinking. Their time together was so short but, without a doubt, Oma Kali left this earth knowing she was loved. And Sundar Mala will never forget her dear, dear friend, Oma Kali.
