Not too long ago, Pakistan celebrated the rescue of a Sri Lankan elephant from the Rawalpindi zoo. Kaavan, the elephant, was gifted to Pakistan in 1985 and had since been living in the country. But the conditions it was kept in were not up to par and recently he was released to a highly revered animal sanctuary in Cambodia.
Now, another animal is in need of attention and it needs to be rescued. Videos and pictures of a bear at the Karachi zoo have been making rounds on social media. It seems that the zoo has been keeping it in a poor condition, and people can’t help but feel anger towards the management.
Let’s take a look at the picture and video of the bear that’s making rounds on social media:
Let’s take a look at what the netizens have to say about the bear and its condition:
This bear in Karachi Zoo pakistan is in a terrible state without food and water. He’s panting due to thirst in his viral videos that were made by a visitor. He seems to be in a very bad shape and requires immediate help and rescue. pic.twitter.com/PfV8yq81iq

Here we go again 🥺 This time it’s Karachi zoo. This poor bear is thirsty, extremely hot and probably very, very hungry. The poor creature will die if something isn’t done for it. Please help 🙏🏻 #savethebear pic.twitter.com/Zuoy401XiI

Previously we have never had a good history of taking care of exotic animals. This one should be taken care of immediately and sent to it's natural habitat https://t.co/OsaT8lWTNK

Is the bear healthy?
Iftikhar Ali Shallwani, who is the Former Commissioner Karachi, took to his Instagram account to share another video of the same bear and said that it was ‘hale and hearty’.
