The female elephant Madhubala has been shifted from Karachi Zoo to the Safari Park. She was transferred in a semi-conscious state in a special container under the supervision of Four Paws, a global animal welfare organization based in Vienna, Austria.
A contingent of police escorted the vehicle shifting the female elephant to Safari Park while traffic police were deployed to keep the road clear for a safe and unhindered passage of Madhubala’s trailer.
After the shifting was completed, mission leader Dr Aamir Khalil said that Madhubala was not fully sedated during the travel from Zoo to Safari Park. The successful operation was the result of months-long hard work.
A special enclosure and swimming pool have been prepared for Madhubala in the Safari Park so that she can enjoy better living facilities. The decision to transfer Madhubala was taken two years ago after the death of the elephant Noor Jahan.
