Pakistan hosts a farewell party for Phil
A group of animal welfare activists organized a farewell party for the elephant “Kavan” in Pakistan, in the presence of President Arif Alawi and his wife.
Lovers of the “Kavan” elephant in Pakistan held a farewell party to honor their beloved before she was transported to Cambodia soon thanks to the efforts of animal advocates.
The elephant “Kavan” was abused for years in Islamabad park.
The fate of “Kavan”, who arrived in Pakistan shortly after his birth in 1985 and became a big-headed village chained for years, revealed the appalling conditions in the capital’s zoo to the point that a judge asked last month May they take away all the animals.
“Kavan” is expected to travel on Sunday in a cargo plane to an animal reserve in Cambodia, according to Salim Sheikh, a spokesman for Pakistan’s Ministry of Climate Change.
Before their departure, a group of animal welfare activists organized a small farewell party in the park with local bands, balloons and decorative ribbons, which was attended by Pakistani President Arif Alawi.
Alawi and his wife appeared while listening to a guide’s explanation of the elephant’s life and future plans. “I am sure you will find happiness in Cambodia,” said the president. It took a long time for people to realize they were under stress. “
“We wanted to wish him a peaceful retirement life,” said Marion Lombard, an official with the international organization “For Bose,” which launched the “Cavan” rescue campaign.
American singer Sher had championed the issue of the animal, saying that the news of her move to Cambodia, which was announced in September, was one of the “happiest moments” of her life.
Zoo management denied that she mistreated Kavan, claiming that grief washed over him after his partner’s death.
Zoos in Pakistan suffer from poor facilities and poor services for animals.
