LAHORE: The full bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) issued a notice to World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Deputy Commissioner Office (DCO) Lahore after receiving a petition from Faryal Gohar regarding the death of a white tigress during the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) rally.

The rare tiger, in question, was brought unconscious to the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore on Tuesday evening and vets tried to revive her but could not succeed, according to Dawn.

The court cannot issue notice to the PML-N leaders as they were not stated respondents in the petition, the court replied in response to the counsel’s request to send them the issue instead of DCO and WWF.

The PML-N created quite a buzz amongst the supporters by bringing their elections symbol, a live tiger, to their political rallies.

@Saeed M.A: Thank you for writing such a heart warming comment.It brought tears to my eyes, no animal or human being should be treated with cruelty, we are all created by God in his image and we should be kind to all. Thank you again.

If the news is true,the beautiful beast is in better place now. She is with her maker,and she is really happy now. She is happy because she has finally managed to escape this jahannum forced upon her by some sub-humans who lie being Muslims and sadly are Pakistanis. From my side, I can only ask her to forgive us because we proved ourselves to be lesser living beings than her. RIP :(
