A Pakistan zoo has called off plans to auction 12 lions from its ever-growing pride to private buyers, saying it would instead create new enclosures for the big cats. Zoo officials had set a reserve of 150,000 Pakistan rupees ($700) per cat -- about the same price as a cow -- but hoped each would fetch around two million rupees at auction.
