The health of Noor Jehan, an elephant in the Karachi’s zoo, is becoming worse every day due to swelling in her rear knee joints that have spread to her spine and put extra strain on her front legs, as well as an abnormally enlarged genitalia.
As per media reports, zoo personnel were ignorant of the illness that the 16-year-old elephant had been battling for a few months.
Neither the zoo’s facilities nor its staff were devoted to this task, not a single laboratory test for diagnosis had been performed so far.
A trip to the zoo found that Madhubala, the other female elephant, had been imprisoned with the sickly animal for more than ten years in a desolate area where she could now hardly move.
“She has lost weight and appears in constant physical and mental distress, nutritional deficiencies might have contributed to her condition,” as per reports.
However, Zoo officials rejected these worries saying the elephant’s condition wasn’t critical.
“We are giving her all the medicines as prescribed by Four Paws’ experts who would be here any day this month. In the meantime, we have contacted the Punjab wildlife director general who has agreed to send a team for animal examination,” Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) Senior Director Khalid Hashmi, who heads the zoo, said.
