Details: Due to the surplus animals, this development is seen and the Secretary Forests and Wildlife, Shahid Zaman, in an interview with Express Tribune, said, “The first priority is that we will pair the surplus animals across the 21 small and big wildlife parks and zoos in Punjab for breeding.” Express Tribune further quotes Shahid Zaman, “Some animals will be released after breeding into protected areas, and if we still have a surplus, we will auction them to the public.” More: At the same time, Shahid Zaman said that since bigger cats can’t be released into the wild, they would be auctioned off.
