The reason to file this petition is to address a very serious matter that is the suffering and cruelty on wild animals in Pakistan. By owning a licence in Pakistan you can buy, sell or import lions and tigers and do what ever you want to do to them. There are multiple cases of abuse where lion cubs and tiger cubs are tortured by these owners. They declaw them, beat them, cage them, take their teeth out and later use them for breeding where they open entire breeding farms and then sell the cubs for money. Once anybody gets the license there is no check and balance, and every other person is allowed to do all sorts of evil things to these wild animals behind closed walls. They are used in political rallies but due to covid those incidents are at stop for now. But many people are seen torturing them for tiktoks and videos, lions are beaten and treated harshly and it somehow gives a feeling of being superior to these abusers. Many times lions are used as props and kept as slaves. People deprive them of their natural habitats and give them a miserable life. We have seen multiple cases of this abuse in a single year and now we want to deal with the root cause which are these licences, these licenses should be cancelled and there should be a complete ban on owning wild animals as pets. Recently JFK ANIMAL RESCUE AND SHELTER posted a video of a man beating a lion cub and dragging him by a chain, it left everyone heartbroken. Its time we put this cruelty to an end, please sign the petition and share with others. This needs to be dealt legally now.
