We did it! We will send money over to buy his freedom! All other funds over 48K will go toward transporting him and helping fix his foot. He has a really bad infection.

Meet Tofu.

I found this little baby boy chained on a fence at a riding camp known to mistreat their elephants in Laos. An elephant camp that hits their elephants with bullhooks and allows tourist to ride on their backs. We worked out a deal with his owner to buy his freedom. Since he is only 8 months old, he is an excellent candidate to be set free and placed into the wild. Once we raise the funds to secure his freedom, we will introduce him to a 3,000-acre property that the Laos government is letting us use for a wild elephant reintroduction project. If we don't rescue him now, he will spend the rest of his days chained to a post to view for people's pleasure. Or possibly be sold to a Chinese zoo.

This rescue is a joint effort between US-based non-profits Planting Peace and Laos Elephant Initiative. 100% of funds raised will go toward securing Tofu's freedom.
