Elephants are some of the most spectacular animals on Earth, and baby elephants are especially adorable. They should spend their early years playing, learning, and bonding with their families, but circuses rip babies away from their mothers and force them to perform cruel and unnatural tricks.
Here are 10 of our favorite pictures of baby elephants looking happy and adorable—in the wild!

These animals are cheerful and carefree, a stark contrast to enslaved baby elephants who endure lives of constant pain and exhaustion in the circus. Baby elephants used by other circuses have their childhoods stolen from them.

Peta, please help the sanctuaries in Thailand, ENP and WWTF with Edwin Leik get their animals back that have been stolen by the government. This was an unfair raid because Lek and Edwin complained about the elephant poaching. They need your help there.
