A bear in DG Khan's zoo died due to lack of water. Earlier, many animals have died in Karachi, Islamabad & Lahore zoos due to unfavourable conditions This is cruelty to these animals, I think these zoos should be closed and let them be free in their natural environment. #PAKvSL
Jhang Toba Road These animals can never say how much they are suffering. Poor and low food, suffocation due to small cages, intense heat, hubris and besides noise and teasing of people, Imagine how you would feel imprisoned in such cages. @SalmanSufi7 @mmavra2 @mmavra2

🐻#HibernationFacts Bears are majestic creatures who adapt incredibly well to their environments. 🌳 After a phase of rehabilitation at our sanctuaries, most of our bears manage to successfully pass the coldest months of the year in hibernation.️
The IUCN should reconsider its position and focus on recognising the importance of investing in in-situ conservation efforts, taking into account community-led conservation and the application of relevant indigenous and local knowledge. (5/5)
Born Free is deeply concerned that the negative impact on animal welfare, so often compromised in zoos and aquaria, is not addressed by the IUCN SSC in its document. It is essential to balance any claimed conservation benefits against animal welfare harms. (2/5)
The Statement cites a handful of species bred by zoos that have been successfully reintroduced to the wild. But cases where zoos have had a demonstrable and measurable positive impact on species recovery in the wild are extremely limited. (3/5)
Ultimately, zoos are flawed ‘business models’ when it comes to prioritising conservation. The IUCN SSC should only permit its name to be associated with mechanisms and structures that can demonstrably show substantial positive outcomes for species conservation. (4/5)

Our husbandry experts and elephant specialists are now in Karachi and have started crate training with Madhubala at the Karachi Zoo. This training is crucial to ensure that Madhubala willingly enters the crate on her big moving day and remains calm during transport 🚚.
