A veterinary team from Four Paws, an international animal welfare group, examined two elephants at Karachi Safari Park Zoo.

The Tribune Pakistan reported that the results raised alarms; Madhubala and Malka, the park’s tuskers, suffer from protein deficiency and traces of tuberculosis (TB) bacteria. These findings threaten both the elephants and zoo staff.

A team led by Dr. Ameer Khalil, Four Paws, urged the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) to act fast. In early February, the team, with local vets, conducted a full health check. Standing during the exam, the Safari Park elephants received medication. Tests confirmed low protein levels and a Mycobacterium complex linked to TB. If TB is fully diagnosed, treatment could last 12 to 18 months.

TB, a zoonotic disease, can spread between animals and humans. Four Paws advised strict sanitization and disinfection at the zoo to curb this risk. They also suggested a richer diet to fix the protein deficiency. Daily monitoring of the elephants’ food and condition is key. Though neither shows clear illness, the TB threat demands vigilance.

TB treatment for the Safari Park elephants will require specialized caregiver training if confirmed. The 12 to 18-month process underscores the need for immediate protective steps. Four Paws ensures Madhubala and Malka’s safety, and the park moves forward.
