A sessions court on Wednesday granted bail to the owner of a young lion and his four employees against a surety bond of Rs each . Concerns raised over welfare of the big cat that was rescued along with a tortoise a day earlier from Sharea Faisal and moved to the Karachi Zoological Garden late Tuesday night .
The big male cat was around one year old and had been raised as a pet though illegally . It seems to be highly tamed as he didnt inflict serious injuries to anyone during the operation . Unfortunately the zoo lacks trained staff and this may affect his health a zoo official said wishing not to be named .
According to him the zoo is the lone beneficiary from the dramatic operation carried out on the citys busiest road . Sindh Wildlife Conservator Javed Ahmed Maher agreed with concerns regarding welfare of rescued animals and said that the province needed a rehab facility for rescued animals to be rehabilitated and said the province is gradually moving towards that direction .
The province is the first province in the country to enact a new wildlife law three years ago to protect species of animals from illegally keeping big cats in residential areas and that they will not be entertained under the new act of the new law . The zoo has gotten a younger lion without spending a single penny.
If looked after well the newcomer may help the zoo may help to increase the number of its big cats he said. If you want to donate to the zoo, don’t want to get a new animal, don’t need to be treated to a new lion. You can donate to your donation to your new donation to the new donation.
Don’ve got a donation to a charity. The donation to charity. You’ll need to make a donation.
