Islamabad: An orphaned Asian black bear cub recently rescued by animal rights activists from the illegal wildlife traders in Pakistan is now making a quick recovery in Islamabad.
The nearly three-months-old bear named Daboo had a traumatic childhood as the poachers in Neelum Valley of Kashmir killed his mother and abducted the little one. He might have ended up in the transnational wildlife trafficking network or as a dancing bear on the streets had a local animal activist not bought him from the hunter.
“The cub was very young, hardly a month old, and his situation was critical with a severe infection in ears. He was scared, starved and part of his ears cut off,” Anila Umair, the animal rights activist who bought and nursed back the bear to health, told Gulf News. She along with another activist Anna Kazmi got the cub for Rs70,000 (US$440) from a person in contact with the poacher.
