A young African elephant named
Noor Jehan is suffering due to subpar care at Karachi
Zoo in Pakistan. Experts say 17-year-old Noor
Jehan needs to be relocated to Safari Park
immediately for proper care.
The poor elephant has been
cooped up in a tiny yard alongside a cage where,
previously, humans forced her to provide rides for
children. By now,
she is in so much pain that she has
begun limping.
Her prison does not even include
any trees, bushes, shrubs, or watering holes. Nor does
it include toys or items that would ensure social or
intellectual enrichment.
Last year, an expert
veterinarian crew arrived to assess the elephants in
Karachi, and recommended they be moved to the Safari
Park sanctuary. Nearly a year later, Noor Jehan
and Madhubala — the other elephant at Karachi Zoo —
still remain neglected in their poor living
conditions.
P.S.
The conditions at Karachi Zoo are detrimental to the
mental and physical needs of elephants, including the
long-suffering Noor Jehan. Sign the
petition.
