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.

DHL Global Forwarding and FOUR PAWS, a global animal welfare organization, have successfully transported two Himalayan brown bears to their new home in Jordan.
Bubloo and Suzie, two 17-year old highly-endangered Himalayan brown bears, took the flight of a lifetime and safely arrived at Al Ma’wa for Nature and Wildlife in Jordan.
“Being able to leverage our logistics expertise, temperature-controlled capabilities and customs clearance solutions to help animals, such as Bubloo and Suzie, relocate brings another perspective to our mission of “Connecting People, Improving Lives”. The successful move, like so many others that we have done, might have required more elaborate planning but brought the teams so much satisfaction. We are glad that the bears are settling in their new home in time to ring in the New Year,” said Kelvin Leung, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific.
