Few months ago people were celebrating elephant Kaavan’s freedom from the miseries of the Islamabad Zoo. And today people are praying for a parched bear in Karachi Zoo to be rescued.
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

Pictures and videos of the thirsty and frail looking bear from Karachi Zoo have been going viral on social media, and people have a lot of questions:
can't believe it's 2020 and we still have zoos. if god's wrath is inevitable it should have already come upon us for the mere reason of how we have treated the planet and its inhabitants. sharam aani chahye. https://t.co/raHnTEorn3

Actress Armeena Khan asked for help:
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

Actress Mashal Khan took to her Instagram to share that there’s a petition being filed to save the bear:
Actress Anam Tanveer too questioned the management:
A girl shared fitting words from Prophet (PBUH):

People were sharing how its not just this bear that’s miserable, but almost every other animal at the zoo:
This bear is only one you saw- I went there and all animals were in similar state- they put up multiple grills with small holes so nothing can be given to the animal from outside- I was able to find the ostrich cages without roof so gave them bananas which she ate happily

People could barely look at the feeble state of the bear:
