Wildlife Department officials capture lion after it escaped from owner's car in Karachi

epa10828718 A lion sits in an enclosure at a zoo in Karachi, Pakistan, 30 August 2023. The lion escaped from its owner's car on 29 August and made its way onto a city road, causing a traffic jam and drawing a crowd of onlookers. The animal was eventually captured and turned over to the Sindh Wildlife Department. The owner of the lion was arrested and will be facing legal consequences. The incident sheds light on the issue of keeping large cats as pets in urban areas and encroaching on their natural habitats. Sindh passed a wildlife law in 2020 to safeguard various species, including big cats, with strict regulations for ownership. EPA/SHAHZAIB AKBER
