Scarred for life. A swollen and damaged foot on a baby elephant is the result of stepping into an animal trap. The tissue damage is so great, veterinarians are not certain they could intervene surgically to reduce the swelling. This elephant has a hard time walking and running, constantly dragging his larger than normal foot around. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lek Chailert and now resides at Elephant Animal Park were he receives plenty of love and care and a life free of abuse.
