Elephants, huge creatures on land, have a high degree of intelligence and population awareness. We often hear stories about elephants' magic, and we believe they are animals with emotions and spirits. But for years, elephants have been unable to escape human infestation, and in addition to poachers coveting their precious tusks, a large number of elephants living in zoos around the world have not been treated with the kindness they deserve.
According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on May 22, in a zoo in Pakistan, there is a male elephant that has lived there for 35 years. For many years, the conditions in the zoo were very harsh, and elephants were often not fed regularly, in addition to the fact that they did not have sufficient water in the hot summer heat. This is particularly fatal to elephants. The elephant was named Kaavan.
Kavan came to the zoo in the 1980s and has lived a miserable life ever since. In addition to poor living conditions and insufficient water sources, Kavan also faced the brutal discipline of the breeders, who were often subjected to violent treatment by the breeders. There has always been a female elephant living with Kavan, and it is well known that elephants are social animals, and they will look particularly uneasy when they leave the population, and this female elephant is undoubtedly the most important companion in Kavan's life.
However, in 2012, the female elephant died. This became the last straw that overwhelmed Kavan, who began to suffer from severe mental illness. Emotions are often difficult to control, and once threw stones at tourists, and the more violent the temper, the more viciously they are treated by the keepers. Today, Kavan is scarred and dying.
Finally, Kavan's story flew out of its cage and became known to the world. That's why a campaign to rescue Kavan has been launched online, which has garnered a joint petition from 280,000 people. In addition to this, there was also a small march outside the zoo, urging animal organizations to rescue the elephant. Eventually, the local court finally ruled, ordering the zoo to release Kavan and finding an adoption site for it. Not knowing that the tortured Kavan will survive for a few more years, he hopes that for the rest of his life, he will never be alone or violent.
