When Motola a logging elephant lost a foot to a land mine on the Thai-Myanmar border last August, it made headlines around the world -- but only because her trainer brought her to a special elephant hospital in northern Thailand. Countless other beasts die similar but unmarked deaths in the wild. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit)
