#KarachiElephants: WATCH📽️ the full story!
You surely remember when a month ago our team performed an unprecedented, complicated dental surgery 🦷 on the two Karachi elephants, thanks to which Madhubala 🐘 and Noor Jehan 🐘 can finally live a pain-free life.
This operation 💉 was the culmination of a long preparation. In this moving video, we tell you everything from the beginning. How much the elephants had to suffer, how the team, led by Dr Amir Khalil, prepared for the difficult operation and what else it takes to make such a mission possible and successful and what obstacles can come in the way.
You will also see Malika 🐘 and Sonu 🐘, whose condition has improved so much since our first visit.
Sit back and have a look behind the scenes, of another big challenge we could handle, thanks to our incredibly dedicated team and YOU 💕 - the best supporters we could wish for!

To keep wild animals chained/locked up should be illegal. I will never understand how anyone could do this. Thank God for four paws

[@sibylle_p]

Money and greed leads the world.

[@carolynthornton8017]

IN MY VIEW Four Paws is more than a team rescuing and treating animals. Four Paws genuinely cares 100% for their charges.

[@tonychorley4936]

Shame it took the courts 8 months to accept the report and give permission for the treatment. Eight extra months of pain and risk of severe infection, thank goodness the team was given the go ahead. Animals deserve better.

[@user-kf6lu4dn2r]

It is disgusting that anyone would even consider waiting 8 months debating giving emergency dental treatment to a severely infected animal. Like seriously, just let them treat the tooth.

[@user-xr3gg9qy8z]

I love these Elephants, I love all Elephants, my heart goes out to everyone who did this amazing surgeries on these 2 sweet and deserving elephants, God Bless every one!!!

[@lifesabitch8012]

I would like to THANK Cher & Four Paws for ALL THEIR HARD WORK PUT INTO TAKING CARE OF THESE GREAT CREATURES! The elephants🐘are Soo SMART they will ALWAYS REMEMBER WHO HELPED THEM OUT OF THEIR PAIN! 💯☝️❤️🐘😚😘

[@jen-walesuk3224]

Eight months to decide to allow these fantastic people to help stop pain and suffering which needed to be done immediately

[@lynngreene1993]

Exactly Jen!! Just one of the things that made me angry 😠😡

[@annieawan8219]

Salute to Dr Amir Khalil and all team 🥰

[@sukanthyranjitkumar8725]

Such a beautiful team is this Four Paws International! 🙏🙏🙏

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Thank you!

[@mariapalavranoff4015]

Tank you ,we love all😘😘😘😘

[@cathysetter3202]

I am so happy that Kaavan is now free. And my heart breaks for our local (small) zoo that refuses to release our lonely elephant, Lucy, who has spent most of her life alone in a concrete cage. This is located in the city of Edmonton Alberta Canada.

[@wisewomin]

I cannot express enough 😢 … how I love ❤️ this!!! To alleviate suffering for these beautiful Elephants makes me so grateful for them!! Born in 1958 & Roger Williams Park Zoo was close to where I lived . I was 3 years old & met Alice the Elephant 💜 What I noticed first was the chains on her legs & swaying back in forth. I looked in her eyes & burst out crying 😭!! I’d beg constantly to visit her & I’d send her love ❤️ starting School at 5 years old I would tell teachers & classmates… that she was my family… 😮 they would laugh at me… but I knew 🐘❤

[@veroniqueboulvard6315]

I would like so much to hug each one of you look into your eyes and say thank you for been born on this planet 🌏 ❤️

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Thank you!

[@Tyler-1203]

Exactly what I would like to do these people are real heroes the best side of humanity

[@tess4-2]

It's clear not every elephant can go home to the lands they were taken from. But to stop their suffering with the vet's heroic work is so much more than has been possible. For Four Paws to ensure their enclosure is the best it can be is truly living up to a great responsibility.

[@fastgurrrl]

You people are absolute STARS. And bless all animal caregivers who are open to improving. Well done!

[@fun----]

Blessings for all species, animals, who suffer because of humans. Thank you Four Paws.

[@farzanawasim9555]

Bless the four paws team and Dr Amir Khalil

[@TheShadowMan.]

I'm so happy to see the improvements in these noble elephants lives 🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@oscarrendon5695]

The doctors are fantastic , saving this poor elephants from such no plain, god bless the doctors

[@loobylouboti]

I'm in absolute awe of these people and this team who work so incredibly hard and in and under some incredibly challenging circumstances. Wow, these people are an absolute gift to world, and the animals that are unfortunately kept in inadequate and poor conditions. They and their families must be so proud of these people. What wonderful work they have done here to help these elephants. And I must say, their aftercare and education that they provide to the elephants caregivers is exactly too. They know how to be sensitive to the situation, ofc, I'm sure that's come with alot of practice. But I also see and hear no judgement ever from this team. Only care for the animals, and respect to those who perhaps don't know any better. Wonderful work. I pray these elephants go on to live a better and better, freer and happier, pain free life. It is only what they deserve. ❤

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Thank you so much for your feedback ❤️

[@jodimorlock1045]

Thank you FOUR PAWS !! Once again, you helped these poor Elephants so they can live a pain free life… You also showed these ppl how to properly care for these Gentle Giants..I really hope that place does what you guys suggested, so the Elephants can be happier.. The only thing that troubles me, is at the beginning of this Video, it showed the Elephants with chains around all 4 legs, THAT makes me nervous, along with who cut the Tusks in the 1st place..🧐🤔 None the less, Thank you again for helping these gentle Soles !! I absolutely LOVE Elephants & I could watch them all day long !! 🐘💖🐘💜🐘❤️🐘💙😊👍

[@thomasmiller1960]

Please rescue elephant Lucy at Calgary Zoo, Canada. Lucy is LONELY & FREEZING in the Canadian winter!

[@ewanbaxter9199]

I nearly choked on my toast when I heard it took A MONTH to decide to let the team in, a "Ground breaking decision" he said. There was proof the two elephants were suffering, there was nothing to decide. How would they like severe tooth ache for an extra month whilst their dentist awaited permission.

[@careyostrer6193]

Thank goodness for Sindh High Court, who like at Islamabad High Court with Kaavan in Islamabad (now relocated to Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary) ruled that the vet team can do this essential work. There are no qualified vets in Pakistan that can properly treat elephants, obviously as these elephants have been suffering for years. They should all, at the very least be reunited at the safari park and have more ability to roam together and browse together, for they were all captured together and brought together as very young elephants to Karachi. Very well done to Four Paws team back in Pakistan, and I hope that you are able to monitor their progress and future living regime

[@lynngreene1993]

Humbled by this team of angels! How frustrating to have to wait even longer to help these poor souls 😢 my heart goes out to all animals suffering at the hands of man 😡 but if FourPaws did not intervene in so many of them, heaven forbid! Looking forward to seeing Dr Amir reuniting with Kaavan 😊 bless you all 4🐾🐾's

[@sindaps7294]

Thank you!! 💖💖

[@zaheerazam9795]

❤ lots of love for 4 Paws great work amazing, Fabulous awesome I expected my gratitude to Dr Amir team from entire Pakistan

[@cremasteel1]

8 months, wow! This team is exceptional and the patience and diplomacy they employ to wait for insane bureaucracy to take its time on such an urgent plea to alleviate pain and suffering. Well done for never dissing local authorities as you are committed to the big picture and long term gains. So much better than me, total respect

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Thank you for your feedback, trust and understanding!

[@2wahineandadog]

Well done to the Pakistani people for asking for help, listening to the help and making changes accordingly!! Yay to the four paws team

[@majadutrieux3569]

Just incredible thank you all for all this love and effort😘

[@paddlefar9175]

Eight months for the “ High” court to give them the go ahead to treat the suffering elephant?! Shameful and disgusting incompetence!

[@moondustgirl2132]

❤🐘❤🐘❤ THANKS 🐾🐾

[@Nitka022]

Awwww...what an amazing surgeries! Ground breaking for sure! I also love Dr Amir and whole team to the Moon and beyond! I follow all their rescues and work like a hawk. It is always such a heart warming feel good viewing. I hope all four elephants can be together in that Safari Park. Green, green grasses, trees and bushes and all that space to explore! Beautiful place for eles and Pakistan's people to visit and enjoy. THANK YOU!! xoxoxox

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Oh, thank you so much for your kind feedback!

[@nightowlsaxon556]

Sir, you are true heroes. May Allah bless you all. I am happy to see that people like you still exist in this world. Lots of prayer and love.

You and your team never cease to amaze me at what you achieve. Pity that the elephants are in cages and not walking freely as they should be. Thank you once again for all that you do for the animals around the world. You are all angels from God.🙏🐘

Those elephants have a better enclosure than the lonely one at the L.A. zoo

[@anneterry3660]

Do not forget that donations make these rescues possible. Even if the government of a country agrees the situation requires improvement they most often do not have the resources in funds or a place to move the animals to, do not have sufficient sanctuary facilities. Donations to organizations like Four Paws make great birthday, holidays of all kinds, memorial remembrance celebrations of a loved ones life, and sometimes just because support save lives and tips the scales towards the good on our planet. Plus, especially for kids they can see the effect of supporting Four Paws on KZbin!

[@evelyngould9]

My heroes ❤

[@careyostrer6193]

It was a great result and hopeful. It is a GREAT SADNESS that the recommendations of Four Paws that the Karachi Zoo elephants were not moved to the Safari park, that no evidence of the other lifestyle changes have been implemented and now 1 of them is severely ill, again. I understand Four Paws has been invited to help and has accepted and is due in the next few days in Karachi, I am very grateful for she would surely have died if you had not been able to come to her rescue. But how can we insist that the ongoing health of the elephants is dependent upon your team’s recommendations being put in to practice? Or will Four Paws have to continue to be their permanent Vet team? I know you have too many other commitments to do that, and have to spend Members money wisely, please please can we find a way to enforce appropriate welfare practices and training up of local vet teams and zoo keepers?

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Hi Carey, we completely understand your concern. We are aware of the situation of Noor Jehan and in contact with the zoo in Karachi. The FOUR PAWS team treated Noor Jehan and Madhubala with a unique tusk surgery in August 2022 at Karachi Zoo and recommended then that both elephants have to be relocated as soon as possible, as the zoo cannot provide species-appropriate and safe conditions. We are not aware of any steps taken to proceed with the relocation of the two elephants so far. Meanwhile Noor Jehan has developed problems with her hind limbs that leave her limping and in physical distress. FOUR PAWS has supported with advice on her treatment but this is not enough for her. Noor Jehan still lives in the same enclosure, which is unsuitable for her species-specific and physical needs, especially given her current condition. She needs a place where she can express her natural behaviour, and which can provide enrichments to relieve her condition. Therefore, FOUR PAWS is currently in contact with Karachi authorities to urge them for immediate medical assessment and required medical intervention for Noor Jehan in the interest of animal welfare along with an evaluation of possibilities for a species-appropriate place for the elephants.

[@careyostrer6193]

Thank you for your reply. Now there is something official from you I am supposing that Karachi Zoo / Metropolitan Corporation was just spreading disinformation about Four Paws being able to attend this week. It really is too bad of them on many different levels.

That is freaking tragic that those 4 elephants were taken from Africa as babies. (China has ended up with a lot of elephants taken from Africa as babies - lots of money to be made and corrupt governments in African have allowed this.). Horrendous. If those tusks were removed to make (a lot of) money from them, it happened after they grew so it had to have happened while they were in captivity in Karachi. Quite ghastly. At least those two imprisoned in the zoo were allowed to go to the safari park...Four Paws does such compassionate and effective work.
