Absolutely tragic. Poor baby must have taken a long time to die from a bullet in the leg. All poachers should be shot in the leg & left to crawl away and die slowly. GRRR!

From the linked site:
Animal Safety Organisation Pakistan President Muhammad Usman said "Illegal hunting is going on in the country and even the sanctuaries and Wildlife department reserves are no longer safe for animals."

He said while the responsibility for the job primarily lies with the government, which must prepare the required reliable data on a priority basis, the media needed to create awareness about the crucial link that existed between humans and other living creatures.

About the animals which have become extinct in Pakistan, he said they included one-horned rhinoceros, Asiatic lion, Bengal tiger, Asiatic cheetah, vultures and gharial, while those endangered included green turtle, marsh crocodile, houbara bustard, musk deer, cheer pheasant, white-headed duck, Dalmatian pelican, Marco Polo sheep, Punjab Urial, blackbuck, brown bear, black bear, Asiatic wolf, snow leopard, common leopard and Indus dolphin.
