2023 Cadillac Escalade-V Tested: Power and Money

Cadillac's new flagship SUV tries to justify its $151,490 price with 682 supercharged horsepower.Cadillac has done to the Escalade something it should have done nearly two decades ago: give its full-size SUV the V treatment. Admittedly, the ethos of the American luxury brand's performance arm has become somewhat muddled in recent years, what with the V lineup now split between tamer V-badged models and full-on V Blackwing high-performance variants, such as the 10Best-winning CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing. But there's nothing confusing about the new 2023 Escalade-V. Its mission is one of power and prestige.

Zoo officials, who set a reserve of 150,000 rupees ($ 700) per lion, hope that each animal will find a buyer for around two million rupees (approximately 9,300 dollars).

But any buyers must first register with local authorities and prove that they have the means to ensure the felines and an appropriate shelter.

- Lions collectors -

last year, an auction of Lions could not take place, potential buyers not having the necessary documents or certificates, recalls the zoo veterinarian, Muhammad Rizwan Khan.

Nouman Hassan, who attracted the wrath of the authorities for walking his tiger on a leash in Lahore - the second city of the country -, in any case plans to participate.

"I will try to buy two or three lions, that's for sure". The sale is also an opportunity to diversify the genetic heritage for collectors already with several Lions, he explains.

At the four corners of Pakistan, zoos are distinguished by the mediocrity of their facilities and the poverty of care provided to animals.

At the end of 2020, the zoo of the capital Islamabad, which had attracted international convictions for having mistreated the Kaavan elephant, had to close its doors. The 36 -year -old obese pachyderm then left for a Cambodian nature reserve.

The Zoo Safari de Lahore, which covers more than 80 hectares, is however considered one of the most welcoming in the country.

For Mr. Khan, the veterinarian, animals receive the best possible care there, which is reflected in their fertility. "They know a good life in captivity with us," he said.
