Iconic singer and actress Cher is set to visit Pakistan to celebrate the departure of Kaavan, dubbed the “world’s loneliest elephant,” who will soon leave his Pakistani zoo for better conditions, an animal welfare group says.

FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2020, file photo, Dr. Amir Khalil, a veterinary from the international animal welfare organization "Four Paws" comforts to an elephant named "Kaavan" during his examination at the Maragzar Zoo in Islamabad, Pakistan. Iconic singer and actress Cher was set to visit Pakistan on Friday, Nov.

Because of security concerns, Cher’s schedule was not made public but “she is on her way,” said Martin Bauer of Four Paws International, a Vienna-based animal welfare group that’s led the charge to save Kaavan. Even after he’s in Cambodia, he’ll require years of physical and even psychological assistance, Bauer said.

Cher is AWESOME. 🐘🐘🐘THIS is how Hollywood Icons use their power to do good. IBelieve SaveTheElephants, SaveKaavan

Hasn’t he suffered enough ?

Major news story!

She's already there (Pakistan) and then on to Cambodia. Kaavan, Cher's got you babe! 🐘 👍👍

The species is sentient. They are not for our amusement. Therefore, I am relieved to read that “Pakistan’s high court ... ordered the closure of Marghazar Zoo in the capital of Islamabad.” Let’s hope other governments come to their senses and shutter these 19th century prisons.

shinangovani Not true

I wish I could go to this too.

Thank you cher 💙 kiki_cliff

Thank you cher

cher please be safe‼️

yashar

How sweet that she has time to care about lonely elephants ...

Stay there cher !! Tell them how bad life is for those who have prospered due to a capitalist economy (which has given u all of that money)...and then, please...stay there.

Ivory much regret those who think this news is irrel-ephant but when cher sings the “Shoop-Shoop Song” to Kaavan he will surely trump for joy 🐘 💃🏻💙🎶

'You got me Babe!'

I’m sure her charter private jet + entourage arrival will be much appreciated by Pakistan’s wildlife 👍🏻 GoGreen

white people's response: all lives matter!😡 Whiteness is a disease man.

Humans are going crazy from being quarantined. Imagine if your entire existence was limited to just your room - not your entire house or apartment - just one single room. That’s what’s making this elephant & other animals in zoos so depressed, even if they were born at the zoo!

A visit from a rich human is bound to cheer the old fellow up. I wonder if she'll sing...*rummage*...Do You Believe in Life After Love to him? I hope she does... 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Let's hope she has sense enough not to 'photo op' ride him cher

Aside from 'lending her voice', how much did Cher chip in to help free this elephant?

Will she swim or take an aorplane to get there? Where is Greta on this?

Either that’s a terrible pic of her or she’s really let herself go.

Stay there.

As much as any lonely elephant would be thrilled to see Cher, I don’t think ANY Animal should be kept in zoos. They always look so sad. I secretly want to help them all escape.

So sad it’s taken this many years to help. People are disgusting.

Too bad we don't care about people more than we do about animals.

Good. He suffering from depression and isolation.

Is Cher on her 15th or 16th farewell retirement tour? I’ve lost count.

I’m sure the lonely elephant is thrilled about his upcoming visit from Cher.

Jet setting across the world to visit an elephant. Your liberal base in a nutshell.
