The greatness of a nation can be\u00a0judged<\/em>\u00a0by the way\u00a0its animals<\/em>\u00a0are treated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These words, spoken by Mahatma Gandhi many years ago, are worth recalling. Its all the more relevant once we sit down and really think about how brutalized and neglected we have let the animals be. Pakistanis have lost their sense of empathy and that’s not a good look by any means. Take the example of the Islamabad zoo and its inhabitants.<\/p>\n
