@CLTAirport What about international arriving passengers. My husband was told to go to terminal E. And he needs to depart from terminal C is there anyway for him to get there?

[SindhWildlife @sindhwildlife]

Please meet one among many survivors as a result of today's rescue operation at irrigation canals of Sukkur Barrage that are without water since 6 January.
Known as 'flap shell turtle' they help to maintain the health of the aquatic ecosystems & they inhabit by feeding 1/2

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

Well done to Pakistan. I am so pleased for the people of this country for making this humane decision. I believe this is the beginning of positive change.

[Faryal Haque Nawaz @Faryalhaque]

It is with overwhelming joy I announce, my dearest #Suzie & #Bubloo are allowed to go to @AlMawaJordan under the supervision of team @fourpawsint. I would like to thank @ClimateChangePK & @WildlifeBoard to showing the maturity of doing right by them🙏 may the best times begin🙏

@curlistani Some never learn

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

@KhizM Kaavan going is really cool and my family has gotten through the year more or less healthy

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

Thanks! Also important to note that Suzie has had several tumours and her liver needs to be checked for more, plus she has renal problems. Bubloo needs oral surgery and both bears have behavioural problems which can only be addressed by professional care.

After the heartwarming departure of Islamabad Zoo's lonely elephant Kaavan, The fate of Bablu and Suzie still hangs in the balance as they await their relocation. Hassan Tariq Butt has the details. #IslamabadZoo #Islamabad #Marghazar #BrownBears #Kaavan

Sadly, no one ever saw fit to replace Dr. Bilal throughout the stewardship of the MOCC

[Pakistan Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) @pawspakistan]

"All zoos chain their elephants at night so that other animals are not disturbed. Kaavan is most aggressive in nature", said veterinarian Dr. Muhammad Bilal about the daily routine of Kaavan and the reason he kept him chained. #IslamabadZoo #2015

exactly

[Containeristan @guldaar]

@IsbZooFriends @Mehreen_Hosain @Faryalhaque @ClimateChangePK @aminattock @rinasaeed @WildlifeBoard @MashwaniAzhar We all support a sanctuary. No one is against it. A sanctuary with right staff & facilities is long overdue. We just want these bears to live out the rest of their days in comfort, which won’t happen if they’re locked up in Ayub Park waiting for the sanctuary to materialize.

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

Can blatant depravity be clearer than this portrait of Pakistan?

[Naya Daur - Khabar Say Aagay @NayaDaurKSA]

PMLN workers bring lions at a rally. This practice is tantamount to animal abuse and should be discouraged

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

Yes

[Ibad @IbadinIslamabad]

@CosmicBrace @IsbZooFriends INSTEAD of wasting the allocated Rs 1.6 BILLION to extend #Islamabad zoo land to make 'conservation center' ... @ClimateChangePK must use that #donors/#taxpayers money to protect city's #environment, like saving its only water source: #MargallaHills

#PollutionFree #Islamabad

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

@anikasleem @rinasaeed @ftwglobal @aminattock The judge said yesterday in court. "It's a shame there is no Cher for these bears."

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

The ministry has a chance to right so many wrongs in the past by letting these bears go now and then building a sanctuary up to world standards, which is not planned and done overnight, or in 2-3 months as promised today in court.

[Anika 🐘🦍🦧🦒🇨🇦🇵🇰 @anikasleem]

Ayub National Park / Jungle World is set up for Human Entertainment! Animals displayed without international Guidelines It’s not a Sanctuary as ordered by IHC The 🐻 🐻 must live the remainder of their life in expert care @rinasaeed @WildlifeBoard @ClimateChangePK @ftwglobal

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

@IsbZooFriends @wildpakistan @Savinglifeonpa1 @pawspakistan @fourpawsint @findfocusfilms @Faryalhaque @HWOAnimalRescue @ClimateChangePK July 30, 2019 this meeting was attended by the authorised officer of the MOCC, who has held authority over the zoo much of the time since 7/2019.

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

Or will it be more of the same?

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

It is for the MOCC top decide the fate of Suzie and Bubloo. Will it be Al Ma'wa, a high altitude sanctuary in Jordan?

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

This says it all about the MOCC. Chapter 2 now the mysteriously crazy mishandling of the Bears. https://t.co/YKQxJkhBOW

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

@hirajaleel @IsbZooFriends @ClimateChangePK @WildlifeBoard Well said. The judge repeatedly said this should not be a matter of egos, the MOCC answered “but we want to show the world that we can..” what? Submit bears to a slow death by honor killing to cover up their complete lack of stewardship since July 2019?

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

@Faryalhaque @WildlifeBoard @ClimateChangePK Tell me this is in the best interest of a bear with renal issues and one in desperate need of oral surgery and not about egos.

[Celesta von Chamier @CvChamier]

@Faryalhaque @WildlifeBoard @ClimateChangePK It was said this should not be a question of egos and the MOCC replied, “but we want to show the world we can build a sanctuary”. So their plan is to put those sick bears, which the ministry ignored an entire year, in Ayub park, hotter than Islamabad, until they build a park?
