Cher's got you, babe: 'World's loneliest elephant' is lonely no more

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Kaavan, once dubbed the world's loneliest elephant, captured worldwide attention last month when he was rescued from miserable conditions at a zoo in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad where he was held for 35 years and sent to an animal sanctuary in Cambodia. There was one key person behind the effort to move him: pop star Cher. Secunder Kermani reports on Pakistan for the BBC, and he joins Saba Eitizaz to tell the story of how it took several animal rights organizations, a court order and a pop star to win the freedom of one lonely elephant.
