Success: Lonely and Confined Elephant Finally Released to Sanctuary

Target: Faryal Gauhar, Head of Communications for Free Kaavan

Goal: Thank the efforts to unchain and set free Kaavan the elephant.

Kaavan, a lonely elephant at the Marghazar Zoo, will finally see freedom after being chained and confined for almost 30 years. After public outcry by the Free Kaavan team and petitions like this one on ForceChange, the Pakistan Senate has agreed that Kaavan needs to be moved to a sanctuary where he will be surrounded by elephant friends and a more natural environment.

Kaavan was the only elephant at the Marghazar Zoo, and for many of those years Kaavan was able to move only a few steps due to the chains that shackled his four feet. The chains were taken off about a year ago, however Kaavan remained alone at the zoo.

Once Pakistan’s National Assembly gives the approval, Kaavan will be moved to a sanctuary. Sign this petition and thank the Free Kaavan team for all their hard work in bringing happiness to the rest of Kaavan’s days.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Ms. Gauhar,

As your team is very aware, Kaavan the elephant has been trapped alone at the Marghazar Zoo for almost 30 years. In addition, many of those years were spent in chains. However, that is all about to change and that is thanks to you and your hard-working team.

You addressed the senate a record of three times presenting your team’s findings and research. After hearing about the awful conditions Kaavan has been faced with for the past three decades, the senate agreed that Kaavan should be moved to a sanctuary.

Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put into bringing Kaavan freedom. His life is now forever changed because of your team. Soon Kaavan will be surrounded by other elephant friends and a more natural environment. I am excited to hear about what the future has in store for Kaavan.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
