Cammie, a young camel whose front leg was chopped off by a landlord in Pakistan's southern province of Sindh, left her caregivers emotional as she walked for the first time on a prosthetic leg. Veterinarian Babar Hussain said it was the first time a large animal in Pakistan had received a prosthetic leg.

Cammie's leg was allegedly severed by a landlord in June 2024 as punishment for entering his field in search of fodder. According to the deputy commissioner of Sanghar, she was transported the very next day to Karachi, and has been living in a shelter there ever since. Hussain said that it would take another 15 to 20 days for her to fully adjust to the new limb. The caregivers said Cammie will remain at the shelter permanently.
