FfFfFfFF 57,747 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 An elephant described as the “world’s loneliest” has landed in Cambodia after a seven-hour flight from Pakistan, receiving a warm welcome from Cher, who will accompany him to a sanctuary housing potential mates. The case of Kaavan – an overweight, 36-year-old bull elephant – prompted global uproar from animal rights groups, who petitioned for him to be moved from an Islamabad zoo accused of substandard care and conditions. His cause was boosted by a social media campaign from Cher, who travelled to Pakistan to see him off. “I am so proud he is here,” she told AFP, after greeting Kaavan through an opening at the base of the crate. “He’s going to be really happy here,” added Cher, saying she was hopeful his ordeal was now over. “Cambodia is pleased to welcome Kaavan. No longer will he be ‘the world’s loneliest elephant,’” the country’s deputy environment minister, Neth Pheaktra, said. “We expect to breed Kaavan with local elephants – this is an effort to conserve the genetic fold.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/30/cher-greets-worlds-loneliest-elephant-in-cambodia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLa 19,897 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'm so happy about this, very glad he made it safely! I visited a Cambodian elephant sanctuary in 2017 (I don't think it's the same one), but elephant preservation is still something that needs a lot of work in that country and it would be wonderful if this brought positive attention to the cause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
