Guaranteed To Tear You Up - Baby Elephant Cries After Mother's Rejection

Here is a new litmus test. If this story doesn't tug at your heart, there is nothing underneath where your soul should be. This story comes out of China. A newborn elephant named Zhuangzhuang was attacked by his own mother who tried to stomp him to death. And the poor li'l guy spent five hours crying.

Yeah, I'm tearing up myself. The thought of any human or animal being rejected by their mother (the one person in the world who should love you unconditionally) is hard to imagine. But there is a happy ending.

Zhuangzhuang was adopted by the zookeeper who rescued him and he's happy in his new home as shown in the video below. Granted it's in Chinese but it doesn't matter. You can see he's doing better and that's all that matters.
