Sunny, who is a former dancing bear, was rescued after being confiscated by local wildlife authorities.\u00a0 The bear was found to be in a critical condition with signs of severe abuse and neglect.\u00a0 Four Paws, in collaboration with IWMB, provided emergency medical care and relocated the bear to the IWMB Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre. A thorough veterinary examination revealed that Sunny\u2019s teeth were removed, a common practice in the trade of dancing bear, leaving her defenceless. The bear was also found to be emaciated and in an anxious mental state. \u201cWe are proud to have rescued Sunny and brought her to safety, said Dr Amir Khalil, who is a Four Paws veterinarian leading the emergency mission in Pakistan. The removal of the ring from her nose marks an important moment, as it was her last dance. Sunny is now officially retired,\u201d he said. The rescue of Sunny is part of Four Paws ongoing efforts to support the Pakistani government in ending the cruel keeping of bears for entertainment purposes, such as dancing or baiting. IWMB Chairperson Aisha Humera Chaudhry expressed heartfelt gratitude to international organisation for its invaluable support and assistance in rescue operations.\u00a0 The IWMB Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre serves as a haven for rescued animals, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment to recover and thrive, said the IWMB chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Time)- ISLAMABAD: Global animal welfare organisation Four Paws has successfully rescued an injured 3-year-old Asian black bear named Sunny from jugglers in district Jhang in a collaborative effort with Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB),\u00a0The News\u00a0reported.
