Cher rescues elephant

For 35 years, ‘the world’s loneliest elephant’ had been made to perform for spectators from his miserable, baron half-acre of land at Marghazar Zoo in Islamabad. Wounds on his legs had become infected, he had been placed in chains, and a poor diet left him dangerously obese.

Kaavan’s only companion died at the zoo in 2012 and the lonely elephant was living out a sorrowful existence.

But after years of campaigning by animal activists, the world’s loneliest elephant was rescued from his tragic life with the help of a legendary music icon. And much like her 1998 hit, pop star Cher helped the elephant believe in life after love.
