In this picture taken on April 5, 2024, Amir Khalil (L), veterinarian and director of the project development for Four Paws International, and Frank Goeritz (R), head veterinarian of Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin, visit the Margallah Wildlife rescue centre, formerly a zoological park, in Islamabad. Before it was forced to close over its "intolerable" treatment of animals, the Islamabad Zoo was home to neglected elephants and underfed lions pacing back and forth behind the bars of their enclosures. Now, four years later, it is a rehabilitation centre for Pakistani wildlife, providing a refuge for motherless leopard cubs, tigers seized from owners who kept them as status symbols, and bears forced to dance -- or fight -- for the amusement of crowds.
