A few years ago, the story of Kaavan — an elephant at Islamabad zoo — came to light which revealed that the animal was being chained for several hours a day. Recently a judge ruled for the animal to be freed and placed in a suitable sanctuary. It appeared that American singer Cher was one of the people who helped make this happen when she couldn’t contain her excitement over social media and thanked many people including the Pakistani government.
Recently she also took to Twitter to especially thank Prime Minister Imran Khan, for his help in the case.
I was a big fan of you when you played cricket @ImranKhanPTI . I always thought you seemed so kind. Thank you so much for your help. This is a dream come true‼️ @ftwglobal #kaavan

Along with this, the court had also ordered for many other animals to be temporarily relocated in sanctuaries, including brown bears, lions and birds until the zoo improves its standards.
