KARACHI, Pakistan, April 22 (Reuters) - Noor Jehan, an elephant in Pakistan's Karachi Zoo whose illness revived criticisms of the nation's zoos, died on Saturday despite frantic efforts to treat her, officials said. The critically ill 17-year-old elephant had fallen into a pond this month and been unable to get up without help. The director of the Karachi Zoo was removed this month over complaints of negligence. A court in 2020 ordered the closure of the Islamabad Zoo, where the elephant Kaavan was kept. Khalil said Karachi Zoo did not meet international standards and urged that Madhubala, the healthy elephant remaining at the zoo, be relocated to a more species-appropriate place to give her a chance at a better life.

Kaavan, cel mai singuratic elefant din lume, a sosit în Cambodgia, după ce a fost salvat din grădina zoologică din Pakinstan unde petrecuse 35 de ani în condiții greu de imaginat. Acesta a fost întâmpinat în noua sa casă de cântăreața Cher, care s-a luptat în instanță pentru eliberarea lui, relatează BBC. Kaavan a ajuns pentru prima dată la grădina zoologică în 1985 ca un cadou pentru Pakistan din Sri Lanka. Supranumit „cel mai singuratic elefant din lume” de activiștii pentru drepturile animalelor, Kaavan a petrecut mai bine de 30 de ani în faimoasa grădină zoologică Marghazar din Islamabad. Animalul a trăit în condiții greu de imaginat și era bolnav, iar după o luptă cruntă a activiștilor și a mai multor personalități, elefantul a ajuns în Cambodgia.
