Global vets in Pakistan for surgery on Karachi zoo elephants

Veterinarians from the global animal welfare organization Four Paws conduct dental surgery on an elephant at a zoo, in Karachi, Pakistan, Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2022. The veterinarians began a series of surgeries on a pair of elephants. During a previous visit last year, vets from Four Paws examined four elephants in Karachi and determined that one of the animals needs a “complicated” surgery to remove a damaged and infected tusk. A second elephant has dental problems and a medical issue with a foot, the vets said at the time.
