Well this is the first time I am hearing such news about one of our celebrities that involves animals and animal care. Till now we heard mostly of the peacocks and tigers related to Sharif family or saw a few fake pictures of Musharraf with his little dogs.In fact, I read in his very unimpressive book about his dogs that he didn't think having a small breed as your pet dog would make one less macho or masculine. And others I have seen are mostly breed conscious people who just aim to impress others around them. Mostly the animals have better personalities than the owners.
Anyway, this is a bit different. Reema - our Pakistani actress who is now the Zoo Ambassador recently visited the Lahore Zoo and fell in love with two baby gazelles (Indian Gazelle fawns) and decided to adopt them immediately. According to the adoption programme offered by the Lahore Zoo, anyone can adopt an animal they are interested in and are then responsible for its upbringing. You have to pay annually and the animal's entire responsibility and expenses is on the person who has adopted the animal.
Reema was never associated with animal care before but said she always loved animals but could never do anything practically to help them. Well her good spirits are positively taken. I am glad I read about it because if one listens to Reema - she would say the same thing in at least 30 minutes. She loves to talk endlessly. I think the Lahore Zoo is much better than Karachi's Zoo and hopefully they would take better care of the animals than our zoo here and the money raised through this programme would be honestly used on the animals only.
