Finally we were able today to release a chain and to cut the chain, the nose ring, the chain ring. His condition physically is good but sure, he suffered from a loss of energy, he had all the fractures in the jaw, he has nearly no teeth at all, or no tooth exists in his mouth. He has several wounds in the ear because of the fights and the biting by the dog. It's a cruel activity, It's forbidden by the law here in Pakistan but on the other hand still in some villages there is a black (unknown) number of this bear fighting sport or activity here.” 8.

SOUNDBITE (English) Doctor Mahreen, veterinarian, FOUR PAWS Project: “Today our examinations will reveal what is the current condition and how we can support better the recovery of Rocky. He'll need a special diet, we will take also some blood samples to check what his nutritional needs are so that we can adapt the diet to his needs and to the condition of his teeth, because without teeth he will not be able to chew very hard food, we need to provide him with really good energy and good nutritional values so that he can recover quickly from his condition.” 11.

Various of Islamabad Zoo STORYLINE: An animal welfare charity has helped rescue and treat a severely abused bear in Pakistan after it was rescued from illegal captivity by the government. Dr. Amir Khalil, director of the FOUR PAWS organisation, travelled to Pakistan to support the urgent rescue and relocation of a seven-year-old bear at the request of the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) and the Punjab Wildlife Department. The male bear was confiscated by authorities from illegal captivity in the Sarghoda district of Punjab where he had been used as a baiting bear, an illegal practice where bears are forced to fight trained dogs for entertainment. The bear, named “Rocky” by the rescue team, had taken part in at least 35 fights and had several injuries to his head and no teeth. The FOUR PAWS team treated his injuries, removed chains and rings from his body and will formulate a special diet for him to accommodate his missing teeth. He is the third bear that has been rescued over the past year and will be relocated to the IWMB Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in Islamabad.
