Four dolphins brought to Pakistan from Ukraine for public entertainment shows died and two sea cats have now been sent back to the Ukraine.
The dolphins were brought to Pakistan in 2019. A private company that had organised the dolphin show in Lahore had entered into an agreement with two companies from Russia and Ukraine to import the dolphins including two males and two females along with two sea cats.
The show lasted for only three months and as the Covid-19 pandemic surged the entertainment venue was closed.The organisers claimed they continued to feed the dolphins daily and a foreign doctor was also present to ensure their well being, but the aquatic mammals died one after the other.
